1. Dying To Survive

New director Wen Muye's "Dying to Survive" is a miracle. It is not just a critically-applauded triumph and a great box office success, but also a realistic drama that has some art power to eventually trigger some changes for Chinese society and government policies. It captures a phenomenal true story reflecting China's medical reform and progress since the early 21st century, using dark humor to portray the struggle for survival of leukemia patients who resort to asking a drug dealer to smuggle unapproved, cheap drugs from India into China. After the tearjerker film debuted, the Chinese government issues new policies and accelerated the process to help lower prices of imported medicines and give patients more hope to survive in a more promising future.
