Shanghai Story
Shanghai Story is a 2004 Chinese film directed by Peng Xiaolian.
A family drama, the film was the surprise winner of the 19th Golden Rooster Awards in China, where it won best picture over the heavily favored" House of Flying Daggers".
The film's win was also surprising given that the story, according to Arthur Jones of" Variety", included references to the Cultural Revolution, which is still a sore subject for Chinese censors.
Even more surprisingly, the film was little- touched by censors.
While the film's studio in Shanghai requested changes to the ending, Peng asked for the decision to come from the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television in Beijing, who chose to leave the film be.
