Nice message....
...but still after all the years have gone buy, the scars of the second great war still haunts us and those that lived it are all but gone and the nightmares are left to the elect and thru it all the world is slowly turning its head.....and a holy war now rages....a war that never ended with the second great...the war still rages on....eighty years now and going strong, world war two never ended.

First for those of you who know little about China: When they're escaping on the boat it's not heading out to sea, it's going along a river. That's why there's a rower. This is also a WWII setting so those are japs bombing the cities. For people who don't have WWII veterans or WWII survivors in their family it might be a bit hard to relate.
For the actual animation I have to agree with previous reviewers that it's a bit "off". Perpetual smiles while crying is not the way to go. They look like tears of joy while the text clearly contradicts it. I also recommend getting chinese voice actors (for a foreign film effect) or at least some voice actors so the reading's not as boring. I don't mind subtitles but without any voices at all it just feels like rolling text :P. The music could also be varied a bit, by adding a 2nd or 3rd song for the more dramatic or sad moments in the story could make this much better. The actual animation is alright since it's supposed to feel like a storybook but you need work on faces. Conveying emotion in emotional stories is key, it's much more important that background and settings (which I see a great amount of detail in).
Decent
It was... unapologetically long. I think I stopped paying attention once they got off the boat. And why the smiling faces while the were crying? I mean, I can forgive the grammatical errors, even though they were distracting, but the smiling faces just really ruined it for me.
it was still a pretty peice.

Quite good, I don't know why everyone else is so critical of it
The end was predictable.
I won't say what the end was just incase, but it was somewhat predictable. On the other hand I thought it was a good flash, somewhat depressing (though I can't see why anyone would cry over it). Though I must say, you need to make more HAPPY flashes for a change ^-^. And I wanna ask what are the songs from this flash and the 1001 wishes flash. Cause they sound really cool. Anywho keep up the good work, I'm lookimg forward to seeing if you can make a happy flash ^-^.
