A true story about a woman laborer from Hunan Province in the south of China, who comes to Shanghai to find the man she claims is the father of her child. It addresses a number of economic and social changes in contemporary China. An unwed mother goes to court to defend her baby girl, Mao Mao. She ignores the centuries-old social stigma as she gains public support for her cause. That a rural Chinese woman should file such a case in court would have been unthinkable in Pre-Revolutionary China. Indeed, the status of unwed mothers in those times was equally unthinkable. So strong was the value associated with premarital chastity in traditional times,and so strong the shame of premarital pregnancy, that a woman in such a condition would have had little recourse but suicide. That she wins her case in court, within a short period of two months, and without the help of lawyers, is all the more noteworthy. Find out more about the film:
