This is the annihilation of idealism. It turns out that director Ann Hui once had such grand ambitions, but now her wild youth and hot-blooded years have come to an end simultaneously.

I believe this is Ann Hui's best film. It beautifully blends personal emotions with historical memories, creating a powerful, resonant experience.

The day love, faith, and politics part ways is the day you and I meet.

Esta é a aniquilação do idealismo. Acontece que a diretora Ann Hui já teve grandes ambições, mas agora sua juventude selvagem e seus anos de sangue quente chegaram ao fim simultaneamente

Acredito que este seja o melhor filme de Ann Hui. Combina perfeitamente emoções pessoais com memórias históricas, criando uma experiência poderosa e ressonante.

O dia em que o amor, a fé e a política se separarem será o dia em que você e eu nos encontraremos.
