The movie selected by the CI at UB was CZ12, also known as Chinese Zodiac. This movie tells a story about how Chinese people retrieved the precious bronze sculptures of Chinese Zodiac animal heads lost in the late Qing Dynasty from all around the world. The movie not only presented the beauty of Chinese films but is also of great educational significance.
