Go Back to China with Anna Akana - FULL MOVIE - Comedy, Drama, Asian American

Ойын-сауық

When spoiled rich girl Sasha Li blows through half of her trust fund, she is cut off by her father and forced to go back to China and work for the family toy business. What begins simply as a way to regain financial support soon develops into a life-altering journey of self-discovery, as she learns the business from the ground up and reconnects with her estranged family in the process.
Go Back to China is a hilarious, heartfelt, and compelling portrait of what happens when today’s Millennial culture clashes with the old-school, hard-working values that families around the world have continued to instill and pass down. It also offers an honest look at the human cost of things that are made in China.
#fullmovie #annaakana #comedymovie
Directed by: Emily Ting
Starring: Richard Ng, Lynn Chen, Anna Akana and Kelly Hu

    Only a woman could write something like this, you feel the touch of a sensitive woman. Very nice! Good teachings, above all about EGO, family, friendship, life, love. You can easily understand what is better to avoid to do. Life is not money, nor business, life is enjoying what you have, doing what you really want to do, being grateful, thanking for everything, even for tiny things, and helping those who have less than you. I enjoyed this movie a lot, thanks for uploading.

    This made me cry because it hit so close to home. I'm from an Indian family so not everything relates but the discussion that Carol had with her dad about taking responsibility and being a daughter before being his employee/investment hit too close to home. I wish my parents would have at least told me what I'm signing up for and give me the option to leave and support myself if I choose. Most Asian parents don't give their children this choice and expect the world out of their kids. It's simply too much pressure sometimes.

    This was like a youtube special with Anna Akana headlining a movie and Pomplamoose singing the end credits, so very cool! So my parents came from mainland China and their early teens were spent dodging the Japanese during WWII and they came out unscathed and came to the U.S. (fun fact my Dad was in the army stationed in Germany the same time Elvis was there and although he never met him, he saw the impact he had even in a foreign country). My dad worked hard in my youth and I never saw him that much even though we were in the same house. I didn't resent it until later in my adult life and I never appreciated his sacrifice until later in my adult life. He never cheated on my mom, never gambled, never drank and had his three sons financially setup for college. I really appreciated the nuance of the movie setting up the father as a flawed character at odds with his children. The parental sacrifice and their understanding if their children want to follow a different path is so relevant. Thanks Dad, you're the best!

    I Loooveee this movie. I enjoyed this movie story so realistic and based from Chinese norms for centuries. After I watch I felt I received a seminar about business mgmt. on a family enterprise. On top of it all, a new perspective to establish nicer relationship of siblings from multiple wives. That father could have intentionally treated them all equally tough, drove them to challenge him in unison and let each siblings DNA do the rest. I think a parent on a late stage of life has a lot to worry if anyone of his children is a stranger or not in harmony/disarray, even worst seeing them in chaos over inheritances.

My kids were invited to be playmates with a rich Chinese business owner's kids and he had the whole mistress thing going just like this dad. Gregarious but probably a big jerk too. Sad the culture created such a reality. Makes me miss China, but I fear it's losing a lot of the good from the time I was there. Also sad. I came across this movie right after watching the one about Hong Kong. Both great simple films.

    WHAT A LOVELY MOVIE!! Great direction, acting & cast selection. Plus it gave us a glimpse of China & a lovely toy factory, too!! I am of the opinion that the Chinese are incredibly hard working people & we could all learn a thing or two about SELF control & discipline from them!! Yesss, I DO prefer to live in a democracy & have the freedoms that I grew up with, but if communism & capitalism could meet half way & be more socialistic - I think that would be ideal!! As Mahatma Gandhi said: "The world has enough to for everyone's need not everyone's greed." So if the "filthy" rich would be willing to compromise a bit & make sure NO one in our world is "filthy" poor - Our world would be far more Heavenly, & hell would be beneath us ALL - Wishful thinking I know, but I would like to be born on a higher planet (I believe there is such a thing) where there's more goodness, equality & less suffering - ✌!!
