On German TV a few years ago they broadcast a Chinese movie which affected me deeply.

There was a pregnant village woman who found out the village headman had insulted her husband.

She went to him and asked why he did that. The village headman repeated his viewpoint and there was nothing more to say.

She could not understand. Why did he do that? well, that was the early years of reform and people made her hope that higher instances could help her. she went from instance to instance form the village to the next city to the next bigger one to Beijing. She had to file at the ministry of justice. He got invited and had to report to the authorities. He failed to convince them. They put him into jail.

At the end of the movie she was even more confused. "He is our village headman. I don't want to see him in jail. I just wanted an apology".

The man never apologized. stubborn he was?
