Chinese movie leads to Director's ban: Devils on the Doorstep

Wen Jiang is a controversial filmmaker from China.  he directed "The missing Gun" which is a good whodoneit about a police officer in a small municipality in central china who gets drunk at a wedding, and loses his gun.  Of course, guns are very controlled in china, and losing a gun means someone bad has it.  murders start, and the police officer must find his gun before more are killed, and he is fired and disgraced (or worse).  it has a good ending, very cool movie.  there arent many movies from central or interior china, so its a good portrait of life in a small city in china.  anyway, i read that his works have been banned, denied work, all because of of his film "Devils on the Door Step."  I was curious, what could he have filmed that was so wrong to the government?  well, the film is really good, very complicated, about morality i guess.  a peasant is visited by the resistance during the japanese occupation and is given a blindfolded prisoner, he is threatened with death if he doesnt keep the prisoner for later, the captor will return. however, the resistance fighter never returns for the prisoner, and this poor peasant is now stuck with a Japanese prisoner of war.  If discovered, he will be killed, the whole village destroyed by the japanese.  soon the village comes to his aid, and they help keep the prisoner alive.  they bond with one another.  the prisoner explains he will tell his superiors about the kind treatment he has received, so they let him go.  the japanese are grateful, prepare a celebration thank you dinner for the village,  however, its a trap.  the evil japanese general kills the villagers and the former prisoner of war (for letting himself be captured, and for bonding with the inferior chinese). the sole survivor is the peasant who was initially given the prisoner.  he plots his revenge.  after the japanese surrender, he arranges to attack the surrendering army at the headquarters of the allies (american, british).  He slashes his way to revenge (chinese movies are great with slashing swords).  in the end, however, its the allies who kill our hero, for killing the japanese.  get it?  this poor guy is terrorized by the japanese, gets his revenge as any patriotic chinese man should, but then is punished by the americans-british (the colonialists) for his patriotic deeds.  Now the american-british allies are seen as the new occupiers-enemies.  Mao would soon kick them out.  Wen Jiang thought this was a positive film about Chinese morality, and eventual justice.  also about the misery inflicted on chinese by japanese and americans and british (they're all the same, occupiers, colonialist).  But the chinese gov felt the bonding of the village with the japanese prisoner was counter revolutionary or something, so Wen Jiang was banned for awhile.  he is now back making movies, but he is very very careful about the content of his films.
