A friend of mine recently told me about a movie called
Huozhe (To Live), which he says was very painful to watch but very good.
Quote:

Fugui and Jiazhen endure tumultuous events in China as their personal fortunes move from wealthy landownership to peasantry. Addicted to gambling, Fugui loses everything. In the years that follow he is pressed into both the nationalist and communist armies, while Jiazhen is forced into menial work. They raise a family and survive, managing "to live" from the 40's to the 70's in this epic, but personal, story of life through an amazing period.

full movie is posted on Youtube (in 22 parts).
