    It is a literary and artistic film with heart, and the first act can be considered attractive, but the theme and subsequent plot development are not my favorite, so I can't watch it any longer. 30 minutes, give up the play in the middle.

    Yin Ruzhen and Han Yili are good, the first half of the movie is ok, it's solid and interesting, there are several good scenes in the countdown half an hour, and then it suddenly collapses. In 2021, there is still a big fire... with the soundtrack is the third act of the disaster level
