"Assembly" in My Eyes

I think it is unnecessary to make an in-depth study on who "The Assembly" is similar to and who Feng Xiaogang copies. These are not very important. The key point is that I need to see what I can learn from the movie, and what I can get after thinking about it. As for comparison...I think it is a very awkward thing. As the saying goes, comparing with others will scare people to death. Why not explore the good content but dig out the corners?!
