Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends.They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain.So they can help each other.But neither of them likes to use his head.They're both poor though they work hard.Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses.They never find out why.
Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife.In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive.He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back.They decided to carry some apples to the city.They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor.Bad luck! A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived.A few days later they had to sell them at a low price(价格).They felt unhappy and returned to their village.
"I can't understand why we sustained(蒙受)losses in business while others always profit(盈利)" Uncle Li asked one day.
"The tractor was too small " Uncle Wang said without thinking."We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!"
"I agree!" said Uncle Li."How foolish(傻的)we were !"

Zhang Yimou’s film NotOneLess tells a simple but moving(感人的)story.Mr Gao, the only teacher of the Shuiquan Primary School, has to stay away for a month to take care of his sick mother.The village leader, Mr Tian, asks Wei Minzhi to take Mr Gao’s place until he comes back.Minzhi is only a 13-year-old girl who has finished her primary school.When she is asked to do the job, she says she can read, write and sing.She gets the job because there is nobody else in the village who can take it.The most important thing for young Minzhi is not to lose any more pupils from the school-NOT ONE LESS before Mr Gao returns.
At first Minzhi doesn’t know what her students need to learn.And she doesn’t know how to keep them quiet in class.She writes the lessons onto the blackboard and then makes her students copy them into their notebooks.She tries to keep the students in the classroom by locking them up in the classroom and running after those who escape(逃跑).
Many people like this film not just because the story itself is moving, but also because most of the people in the film use their real names and play themselves.
