Chinese version of Aladdin has good intentions and sacrifice
15 February 2019
If you like fairy-tales, romantic drama and Medieval China, you will love this story. If you are looking for a kung fu action hero movie, you will not be as well served. This isn't a big budget spectacle, but the settings are still beautiful.

It is a story in Medieval China of a thief and the family who adobted him. When rich princes come to propose the local princess, the thief aims to steal from the gifts, to provide for the family and the villagers. The prince of thieves was adventurous and good-hearted, the former warrior step-father couldn't help but aid him, despite resisting the whole risky idea, and the step-sister is caught in the events with her heart torn. It wouldn't be a proper Chinese story, without a bitter-sweet taste and tears.
