Another brainless translation ruining a good work. I will not do any analysis. I only talk about it from the perspective of substituting characters. As a viewer who also has family emotional trauma, this documentary is just like the director Liu Bing asked Kiere, what do you want from this...

When I watched it, it was renamed "The Crack of Love and Pain"
