Chunmiao
Chunmiao is a 1975 Chinese film directed by Xie Jin, Yan Bili and Liang Tingduo, starring Li Xiuming as the titular village girl who became a barefoot doctor through political struggle. Like all films released in the Cultural Revolution, it is a propaganda film, in this case promoting the Criticize Lin, Criticize Confucius movement.
The ultra-leftist political message aside, the film is considered well-made artistically. It was shot in the countryside near Shaoxing, Zhejiang. It was Xie Jin's only film during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976).
