CANNES puma basket heart womens , France, May 18 (Xinhua) -- "This is a story of people who accept the reality and they grow as a human," Japanese movie director Hirokazu Koreeda told Xinhua presenting his movie Our Little Sister.
Our Little Sister, which was well received in Cannes, tells the story of three sisters getting to know their young half-sibling after their father's funeral. It portrays a gentle reunion of four sisters having to face their difficult role in the family.
"All people staying in the city they accept their fate and they don't fight against it, the inhabitants staying in that seaside town watch over everything," said Koreeda during an interview with Xinhua at the ongoing 68th Cannes Film Festival.
Koreeda said acceptance is one general element of the film as the older sister accepts the father and mother as they are fenty puma rihanna trainers black , as does the younger sister.
"I'm very interested in how western people will accept the story because the philosophy is quite different. Maybe we (Asians) are shy because we accept our fate," he said.
Koreeda received the Prix du Jury at the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival for his movie "Like Father, Like Son." He also won the Golden Osella for the Best Director in 1995 during the Venice Film Festival with his movie Maborosi.
Asked if the film featured stories from his own life, Koreeda said: "I have two older sisters but I didn't reflect my family's case. I picked up the story of three real Japanese sisters. We researched how they shared food, clothes, took the bus etc and we kept up details."
TALKS on restarting US beef exports to China are moving fast and final details should be in place by early June, according to the US Department of Agriculture puma basket valentine hers , allowing American farmers to vie for business lost by rival Brazil.
As part of the deal, US ranchers are set to halt the use of growth-promoting drugs to raise cattle destined for China and to log the animals’ movements, USDA said.
The two sides are negotiating to meet a deadline, set under a broader trade deal last week, for shipments to begin by mid-July.
Finalizing technical details in early June should mean beef companies, such as Tyson Foods Inc and Cargill Inc, can sign contracts with Chinese buyers to meet the deadline puma fierce core kylie jenner , USDA said.
China banned US beef in 2003 after a US scare over mad cow disease. Previous attempts by Washington to reopen the world’s fastest-growing beef market failed. But now, the quick progress of the latest talks is raising US farmers’ hopes.
“Both sides feel the urgency to get it done by the deadline,” said Joe Schuele, spokesman for the US Meat Export Federation, which represents Tyson, Cargill and other meat companies.
The timing of the new deal comes as Brazil, the world’s top beef exporter nike air force 1 mid 07 black womens , is mired in scandal and rival shipper Australia is suffering from a drought that is hurting production, analysts said.
China accounted for nearly a third of the Brazilian meat packing industry’s US$13.9 billion in exports last year.
But in March, China briefly banned Brazilian imports after police there accused inspectors of taking bribes to allow sales of rotten and salmonella-tainted meat. JBS SA, the world’s largest meatpacker, was involved in the probe and in separate allegations that Brazil’s president conspired to obstruct justice with the company’s chairman.
The food-safety probe hit Brazil’s beef exports, which fell by 24.6 percent to US$378 million in April from March, according to an industry group that represents meat processors accounting for 90 percent of Brazil’s exports.
“This is a very opportune time for the US to step up nike air force 1 high black womens ,” said Derrell Peel, an agricultural economist at Oklahoma State University.
China’s appetite for beef has climbed in recent years. In 2003, imports totaled just US$15 million, or 12,000 tons, including US$10 million from the United States, according to USDA.
To reopen US trade nike air force 1 low white womens , China has accepted a US proposal in principle that would require producers to document locations where cattle raised for beef exported to China are born and slaughtered, USDA said. The system would be less onerous than tracking cattle throughout their entire lives, during which they can be kept at up to four different locations.
Under another rule, US beef exported to China must be raised without a class of growth-enhancing drugs known as beta-agonists that includes Elanco’s Optaflexx.
US beef shipments to China will also have to come from cattle under the age of 30 months, according to USDA. Most US cattle will meet that requirement, the US Meat Export Federation said.
The terms of the deal are a win for the United States over Canada, which is approved to ship only frozen beef to China.
China already bans meat from Canadian cattle fed with Optaflexx.

Folklore Story
As the story goes, once there was a cowherd, Niulang, who lived with his elder brother and sister-in-law. But she disliked and abused him, and the boy was forced to leave home with only an old cow for company.
