Film and television evaluation

A Xin's charm is attributed to the skill of script writing: it concentrates the joys and sorrows of a great era on a seemingly weak but hard-working woman.

Coupled with the acting skills of Ayako Kobayashi (childhood-A Xin), Nobuhiko Yinchuan (old age-A Xin) and Yoko Tanaka (teenager-A Xin), who played A Xin, A Xin was born from humble origins, but succumbed to the limitations of fate and environment, which made Ashin transcend time and space and become an inter-generational female model. Everyone was moved by her simplicity, sincerity and courage.
