Description: The story revolves around a little orphaned girl living in an impoverished community of mainland Chinese immigrants to Taiwan. However, theirs is a romanticized poverty--less a depiction of the actual living conditions of this population than a vehicle fo the film's statement: be good, and work hard together for a better future. Set around the time of the Korean war, when refugees from mainland China were still coming to taiwan and a million had already arrived,Our Neighbor addresses this audience of Chinese torn form their homes and kin.
