Sorry, but after reading the above review bashing the female. lead Qi Shu, I just had to comment. The ONLY reason I viewed this film is because Qi Shu was in it. I have been following her career since she was a popular model of age 17. She's a beautiful girl inside and out with a natural personality that everyone loves(accept the above reviewer of course,perhaps she's jealous?) Yes, she's from Taiwan and not from the native area of the movie's location. So what!, such things are not uncommon in films. The movie was quite enjoyable even with such flaws as although the story was supposed to have spanned over 30yrs, nobody aged? OK, aging making takes many hours to apply and is very expensive so they decided to skip it. The story and script was obvious, kinda Korny and lacking depth. This is often true with foreign films in my opinion. Being a major Qi Shu fan I was hoping for a little T&A since she is well known for nude modeling and was disappointed in that department. Oh well, I should expect that for a mainstream Chinese flick. For Qi Shu fans, she was adorable as ever so don't miss this film!
