Hmm... I hope this does see a Chinese release (and US in turn). But I fear the story-line itself may be deemed as too 'westernized'. I mean a radio literally falls out of the sky giving the son a dream of being a rock and roll star. Unless the story ends up with tragedy because the young one 'goes astray', I don't see it as something the Chinese government would want to instill in their citizenry.
Especially with the whole other thing I noticed: some mysterious powers at be in the urban area trying to get to the successor of the protector of a more rural province in order to somehow effect the outcome of that province. Kind of screams of the current political situation within China that the government would not want their media addressing (*cough* Tibet *cough*).
...And congratulations roo... you just ruined any chance this film had...
Actually I'm sure if the above is accurate they would have done it regardless of anything I said.
