How does it feel to rewatch "A Fei's True Story" many years later?

When I first watched "A Fei's Story", I was only a teenager. Yesterday, "A Fei" was re-released, just in time for heavy rain. Wade in the rain to the cinema. "ALFY" is going to rain. I walked into the cinema from the real rain, and then walked into the rain of ALFY. Hurry up and hurry up, and in the end it was still a few minutes late. Maggie Cheung was on the screen, suppressing anticipation and loneliness and asked:

"When will we tell my dad?"

"Will you marry me?"

Leslie Cheung was wearing a white vest and turned his back to her. The light was dim and unclear. I couldn't see the expression on his face. I only heard his low voice, which was very calm and decisive:

"Will not."

Birds without feet will not get into the nest before dark. He would not go home when he was tired, he would only fly to death in the wind.

So he indulges himself, strays and shows his gorgeous feathers to every lovable woman. Whatever he said, the other party would be shocked: God gave him a beautiful face that was one in a million. He also knows that he is beautiful, and he doubles to maintain and cherish it. After beating my mother's head violently, he hurriedly adjusted his hair in the mirror, combed her hair and brushed her sideburns meticulously; and at the end of the film, Too Wai Leung, who will appear in the second generation of A Fei according to the director's statement, lives in a chaotic hut with clothes. He and books were piled full by the bed. Before going out, he smartly put on a suit, tucked a scarf, stuffed a box of cigarettes in one pocket, and finally did not forget to wipe his shiny back.

The pretentious and feather-loving footless bird couldn't land, but wanted to dress up and fly out of the sky, and I couldn't help tears falling when I saw it. At the beginning of the year, I saw that they were still teenagers. They only regarded these two as admiring vanity and didn't pay much attention to these two plots related to "brushing their hair". Now they seem to have mixed feelings, and there is a kind of "make-up with tears." The exquisiteness and graciousness. It seems that Su Lizhen, the dignified and elegant cheongsam in "In the Mood for Love", gave birth to a glimmer of strength in helplessness and despair, and used it for her beauty and dignity.

A large part of Xu Zai's exile was due to his mother's reasons. The entanglement with his biological mother for many years has made the conflict between him and his adoptive mother more intense. The mother and child both love and kill each other. They are entangled endlessly, and no one is willing to let anyone go easily. As Xu Zai said: " Hug and die in one place." The confrontation, contradiction, resentment, and love between the family and the children only have a deeper understanding after adulthood. The huge estrangement and long-term war finally disappeared after learning the news of his biological mother. However, finding his biological mother did not allow him to be redeemed, as the adoptive mother said: She doesn't want you anymore. The biological mother did not meet him. He wanted to find the nest of the flying into the world, but in the end he couldn't stop flying.

In the end, he went to the Philippines to find his birth mother alone, but was shot dead on a train in a foreign land amidst chaos. In fact, he does not have a foreign land or a hometown. He does not belong to any place, and no place belongs to him. Therefore, he can only perish in the eternal journey, become a true footless bird, and rest in the wind when he is tired.

Footless birds do not exist in this world. They are born and die. Their stories "can only deceive women and children". And Xu Zai finally ceased to exist like a footless bird, just like 1900 who died on a ship, and the traces of his life were erased by death along with the journey of others. He once said that only when he is dying will he know which woman he loves most in his heart. At the moment he disappeared into the wind, which one did he think? It was Azhen who was silent and tolerant, or Lulu who was passionate and stubborn.

Azhen and Lulu are like a pair of red and white roses. One yearns for a family, but prefers not to get married to accommodate Xu Tsai, while the other walks into his mother's house in tears after Xu Tsai leaves: "Every time he comes here, I let me wait for him downstairs. I am. I want to see what this house is like. It doesn’t seem to be the case now. Do you think I’m weird?” The vicissitudes-looking mother gave a kind understanding: “When I was young, it was the same.”

How like the one who once loved humblely, ourselves. It's just because that person once turned around with a bright and seductive smile, with a shining pearl earring hanging in his hand.

And when will we be able to calmly and calmly look back at the tearful past, and say something with a smile like Ruoyouruwu:

When I was young, it was the same.
