Some students once asked me about recommendation on Chinese movie which could help them to understand the society of China. I searched on Internet and picked some. Here is my answer (I have added the time of the story in brakets, so that you can see the changes during history):
1.我不是药神 Dying to Survive
（Modern）
2.中国合伙人 American dreams in China
（1980~2000）
3.霸王别姬 Farewell My Concubine
（1920~1970）
4.末代皇帝 The Last Emperor
（1900~1950）
Can you share the Chinese movies that you like very much?
你可以说说你喜欢的中国电影吗？
