A labylinth of social problems in China has been objectively described with realistic narration and refined language to create a calm tone in the film, “A Touch of Sin”, a 2013 Chinese drama directed by Jia Zhangke. The whole procedure whereby the main character, Dahai descended into the world of violence, provided in detail, shed light on where the violence originates from. The film testifies to the fact that the lower class necessarily ends up turning toward violence when their human rights and dignities are abused. Without any gangster aesthetics or visual effects, director Jia succeeded in his business when he kept the tone level and calm and revealed the whole story about a violent crime. Had it not been for this film, the scandalous firearm murder case of ‘Hu Wenhai’, which happened this century, would have been plainly slipped from memory among Chinese people. The movie, finished filming in 2013, has been released in 41 countries worldwide, but has been banned from cinemas throughout China. The government, however, after redeliberation, decided to allow the film to play in China. Still Jia’s feature film debut, Xiao Wu, is banned by the government censor. The film simply tells that true progress and growth can be achieved when an individual, people, state or nation have the courage to face their own faults.
