Obviously people cross cultures would share the author's feeling.I also like what you discussed that inner feeling varies in situations - Human being is very situational animal. In particular when people transformed from a repressed environment. Language does convey the culture,social changes and psychological movement, I also agree. Good review.

In Cinema China 07, I saw a beautifully digitally transferred The Goddess (1934) http://www.dianying.com/en/title/sn-1934 but also the single print of Spring in a Small Town (1948) on the verge of being damaged http://www.dianying.com/en/title/xcz1948 Certainly more efforts should be put into preserve classic Chinese films and make them available to wider audiences.

That's a difficult question. Except Centre Stage, I can't think of any other Chinese films about the history of Chinese film industry. In terms of big names, I think you may want to start from Ang Lee. His films are very accessible to Western audiences while still have strong Chinese perspective/philosophy. His early work, like East Drink Man Woman, Pushing Hands are very enjoyable. http://www.dianying.com/en/person/LiAn If you like action/martial arts, you want to see Jackie Chan, John Woo, Tsui Hark, and lately Zhang Yimou. http://www.dianying.com/en/person/ChengLong http://www.dianying.com/en/person/WuYusen http://www.dianying.com/en/person/XuKe http://www.dianying.com/en/person/ZhangYimou Or perhaps you can start from this top 10 list: http://www.dianying.com/en/users/top10.php Where to start?
