Everyone once had a period of youth and then lost it

Compared to the book, a lot of content, characters and... passion scenes have been added. The whole film is very bland, there is no particularly thrilling or climax plot, it is more called an educational film than a thriller. Aunt Mei in the middle said to Miriam Yeung, you dare not leave your husband, you are happy, and I have freedom. When Aunt Mei persuaded Mr. Li to eat dumplings, she said that China was originally a cannibalistic society. And food, Yue Fei's Manjianghong and other allusions. The scene of Miriam Yeung in the feature film when she was young is so beautiful, so youthful and energetic, no wonder everyone wants to be youthful. But God is fair, everyone once had a period of youth, and then lost it.

Mei, the cook: Let me tell you, all expensive cosmetics claim to contain precious stuff like bird's nest, ginseng, pearl powder, pollen, royal jelly, whatever. Who cares? For women to rejuvenate, you must start from inside for the best result. Only my secret formula can do this. Mrs. Li, think of the results, not what it was.

Mei, the cook: [singing] Rough is the nature of Lake Hung / My home is on the shore / At dawn, boats go out with nets / At dusk, they return loaded with fish / Wild ducks and lotus roots are here / The scent of rice fills our autumn air / They say heaven is beautiful / How can it compare with my Lake Hung?
