Trouble Makers (simplified Chinese: 光荣的愤怒; traditional Chinese: 光榮的憤怒; pinyin: Guāngróngde fènnù; lit. 'Glorious Indignation') is a 2006 black comedy film written and directed by Cao Baoping. It was Cao's solo directorial debut, though Cao had previously co-directed the film Absolute Emotion in 2001. Based on Que Diwei's novella, "Village Operation," which was published in a magazine in 2000, Trouble Makers had difficulty traversing the Chinese censors and often found itself lacking funds until 2005. As a result, Cao eventually inserted a happy ending that differed from ending in the original novella.
