It's probably the most basic human experience since we started building houses. In great Roman cities the Insulae, their apartments didn't have kitchen due to the fire risk. Instead there was a restaurant on the first floor where everyone grabbed their food.

The fact that "The Last Emperor" was even allowed to be made is a historical miracle, an absolute miracle. It could never have been more before that point, and it could never be made today.

It probably helped that Bertolucci was "Communist but also cmon lets get real finally" in way that matched Deng Thought.
