Shu has a reputation as a slacker, a drunk and a danger to himself and others. He blinds himself temporarily while welding. He meets a fetching mute named Xiaomei who works at a massage parlor and decides to marry her, but this too falls apart. Meanwhile, Shu's village seems as doomed as he is.

Hello! Shu xian sheng (2011) Reviews
A deep dive to the darkness of ordinary life
I can see why this movie seems strange to lots of people but if you have somewhat experienced the bitterness of life in small Chinese villages back in early 2000s this movies is amazing. This movie reveals the sad but intriguing conflicts that happened between man and man, man and woman, nature and society, modern civilization and restraining tradition, dream and reality. The story itself is not nearly as dramatic as the ones produced in Hollywood. Nevertheless it presented glimpses of desperate living hell that to some degree we all are stuck in.
The Village Fool in every village
Not satisfying in terms of storytelling, especially the first half. But once you've endured the first 40 dull minutes, things begin to make sense as you put the pieces together and understand how Mr. Shu becomes the village fool. You'd recognise him only if you've known true poverty and in those hopeless yet hopeful rural villages, not the "poverty" with food stamps and MaDonald's.
Schizophrenia in China country
In this movie, Mr tree get the mental illness called schizophrenia which many of its symptoms are mentioned in detail in the film. No matter in the story or the actors's , especially Wang BaoQiang, performance, this film could touch my deepest part in my heart. It is a pity that you don't like it, but it does't matter.
Unnecessary film about China. Nothing interesting about forced migration of villages and effects on environment
I saw this film as part of the Rotterdam Film Festival 2012. The announcement text on the festival website sounded intriguing, covering urbanization of Chinese villages, whether they want it or not. However, the net result on screen had zero political contents. It is just some not-so-interesting story about someone not-so-interesting with his family and friends. I badly missed information about their environment (in two senses of the word). And it has also nothing that looks like a documentary about China and the people that live there. As far as I'm concerned, this film is unnecessary.
