The inheritance and development of Tibetan opera also takes a big part in the film. When watching the performance of Tibetan opera in the film, a Tibetan woman from Qinghai can’t help weeping:"All of these scenes remind me of my hometown and my childhood. It is real-life and touching."

Mrs. Chen from Haidian District of Beijing said:"The film gives priority to panaroma and medium shot, which is quite different from ordinary ones, but there is no barrier for me to understand."

"It has an artless charm, natural and genuine, for both the words and characters, just like a friend telling you a story," she added.

Hiring non-professional actors and actresses, the director Wanma Caidan said he hoped that actors he has employed in this film can transmit information distinctive from others in given situation.

"It is a seductive beauty," one of the audience bolted out when watching the film. The film is also an expression of traditional Tibetan aesthetic appreciation.

"I think, it is an ideal way for the audience themselves to find out the real meaning of the film, rather than I impose," Wanma Caidan said. "Different people have different feelings toward the film."
