Director Jin Qiyong's mid-term representative work is also the first part of his "Hanyo Trilogy". The film fully demonstrates the director's creative style, and has been passed down in subsequent works such as "Fire Girl" (1971), "Fire Girl 82 Edition" (1982), "Insect Girl" (1972), "Carnivore" (1984) and other works . Hanyo's experience of walking into a middle-class family reflects the breakdown of the family and the creepy atmosphere of horror. Taking the "staircase" as a clue, the film divides the entire room into two floors, and uses weird scenes and discordant sound effects to bring the audience an extreme sense of terror. This "Hanyo" also means that Jin's works have embarked on a formal and mature road since then.
The film exposes the class differences between urban and rural areas, women who dream of being in the upper class, liberal families in chaos and turmoil, men whose financial power is controlled by women, the intense sense of unease, and so on. The heroine of the film is a woman from the bottom of society. In order to change her fate, she even uses pregnancy as a means to enhance her identity. For the relatively loosely structured liberalized family, Hanyo's presence has become a destabilizing factor, like a bomb that could be detonated at any time. In addition, Li Yinxin, the actor of Hanyo, played a character full of desire and almost demonized. On a rainy night, the rain wet the woman's hair, and her whole body exudes a desire to erode everything. Her temptation makes the hero step by step toward destruction.
