One of the "Apu Trilogy" turned out to be Rey's debut. The work with the least trace of axe in the series is also the one that best fits the character of "ge" in the Chinese title.

The moment the body touched the ground and the soul soared, a heartbreak for the passing of life penetrated the audience. #BJIFF9#
