Is this the future of China?
2 January 2024
It was so touched when Zin Mi started to recite the "cheerful" poem that I couldn't stop weeping. Her whole childhood was filled with Kim Il sung, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong un, which resembled so much the lives under the reign of Mao Zedong. It seems that we are undergoing another cult of personality towards Xi, although to a lesser extent. Nobody knows whether we will become the next North Korea.

The broad usage of close-ups of actors' faces is a significant feature of this documentary, which leads us to be curious about their inner thoughts. However, we know nothing about their true thoughts, veiled by DPRK's political correctness for so long. This is a world full of disguises and lies, or what's worse, they have already firmly believed what they are told to believe.
