Hi. I’m from Russia. I’m a big fan of Chinese studio films. I really like the Red Bean actress Liu Jia.I agree with your opinion. I have other political beliefs but about SM I agree with you. And I am trying to prove this point in Russia and among friends from the West. I do not refer these films to pornography and sado-masochism!
They are several studios in China (HJYY(Nostalgia\Retro),Jianyuwenhua (Prison Culture), LJMY (i like only miltary\historical movies. No SM), Nvliehongdou (Red Beans), YZK(Rouge) ). They make very beautiful films. Unfortunately, they haven’t been very active lately((((. We also have martyrs in Russia (Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, Young Guard and so far). But there are not films of the Bondage genre on this topic at all.
