To Russia, for love

A new comedy film is the first production of a 2017 bilateral agreement, Xu Fan reports.

A marriage proposal may sound romantic to many, but in a new film, it turns into a tough battle for a Chinese man who travels to Russia to seek the blessings of his prospective father-in-law.

That is the story of How I Became Russian, the first Sino-Russian production since the two countries signed a framework agreement on jointly making films in 2017.
