Barefoot Doctor (2016)

During the Cultural Revolution, Sun Lizhe, a young intellectual with no medical background, found himself unexpectedly assuming the role of a barefoot doctor due to the whims of fate. From being heralded as a model-educated youth on the front page of the People’s Daily to being confined in a dark cell awaiting criticism and denunciation, his life’s journey poignantly mirrored the political turmoil of 20th-century China.
