New China-Africa Movie Release: “A Foreign Daughter-in-Law in the Village”

A China-Africa love story is set to be released on the big screen in China soon. The film, whose title in Chinese means “a daughter-in-law in the village,” tells the story of a young couple who returns to the groom’s hometown in rural China where his new African bride confronts the challenges of adapting to life in a conservative culture unaccustomed to interacting with outsiders.

Given all that’s happened recently in Guangzhou, the timing of the release of this movie could either be very good or very very bad.
