Consider watching this old movie: Teahouse (1982)

It's based on a play which brings one through Chinese history since the fall of the Qing dynasty. What's incredible is that the movie was made in 1982 and even won awards from the Beijing Ministry of Culture 🧐

The movie follows events that occur in a teahouse and the teahouse acts as a metaphor to China

It's hard to imagine this movie could be made today, it serves as a reminder that there was a period of time where Chinese could be candid about China's deficiencies (this is before tiananmen). Despite it's economic growth since, I think you'll find that China hasn't changed much from the days in the Teahouse

It's also a great movie to watch as a bitcoiner! I used to watch this movie and focus on the characters but now all I see are fiat bullshit rugpull examples 🤣
