if in China

The background of this film is set in the United States, which is very funny. It has both traditional Chinese concepts (expressed through these gatherings, parents' views, and gossip between women), and at the same time, it has the latest American views, whether it is a year-end love. Still gay, so it turned out to be a happy one.

However, in fact, I found that Chinese people are Chinese no matter where they go, and family values ​​and face problems still exist. Maybe this is culture. If the issue of face is not handled well, it is a burden. If it is handled well, it is the force that promotes social progress, because the issue of face is, on the other hand, an issue of reputation.

Anyway, this movie is worth watching.

    As Chinese people, we know the weight of the word face. Going to college for face, looking for a job for face, getting married and buying a house is inseparable from face. So there is the mother played by Chen Chong. In order to get married, she married a man she did not love, and many years later, she concealed her true love for face. It is no wonder that Will, who grew up in such a bad family environment, was timid and shy, did not dare to pursue true love, and lived with no interest in life.
