The Park is the 2007 directorial debut of Chinese writer-director Yin Lichuan.
[3] The Park tells the story of a father's reconnection with his daughter after he moves in with her in the provincial capital of Kunming.
Upset over her relationship with a younger man with no job prospects, he begins to tout her name in a local park to other elderly parents looking to marry off their children.

FIPRESCI critic Ayman Youssef's praise is more technical in nature, citing the use of visual framing and the use of long and medium-shots, though he also lauds the performances as "fine and exact acting.
