LITTLE RED FLOWERS ::.
Qiang is a four-year-old little rebel with a pair if luminous eyes and an indomitable will. His father deposits him at a well-appointed residential kindergarten in post-1949 Beijing, since his parents are often away. Life at the kindergarten appears to be rich and colourful, made up of a variety of cheerful rituals and games meant to train the children to be good members of the society. Being a fierce miniature individualist, he tries but fails to conform to the model his teachers enforce. Yet, he still craves the reward that the other students win: the little red flowers awarded each day as tokens for good behavior. But Qiang doesn’t win any flowers: he can’t even dress himself and doesn’t play together with the other kids. He even talks back to the strict Teacher Li and Principal Kong when they try to impose some discipline on him.
Gradually, his charisma and bravado start to win over his classmates and he succeeds in convincing everyone that Teacher Li is a child-eating monster in disguise. When their attempt to capture her is thwarted, Qiang’s resistance develops a more disturbing dimension and he is forcibly ostracised from his companions.
Will he succumb to the adult-enforced conformity around him, or will he insist on growing up his own way, by his own rules?

1944-1945… The liberation of Italy, Provence, the Alps, the Rhone Valley, the Vosges and Alsace marked vital stages in the Allied victory… And in the place that France was able to take among the Allies following the Armistice.
This victorious and bloody march on Germany was carried out by the 1 st French Army, recruited in Africa to sidestep the German occupiers and the officials of the Vichy regime: 200,000 men, including 130,000 "natives" comprising 110,000 North Africans and 20,000 Black Africans… The rest of the force was made up of French North Africans, for two-thirds, and of young Frenchmen who had fled the Occupation.
