Meng Jiahui: The woman in my favorite movie

I believe that almost 60% of my friends don’t know her. 40% of those who know her may not have any deep impression on her. In fact, I have seen and really remember her in only one movie, precisely because of this. In one, she became the woman in my favorite movie.

The name of this movie is "Dark War", starring Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun. This is a man's movie, so pure there is not even a heroine.
There are only two people who can barely be called supporting actresses.
One is that if you have a good impression of Liu Qingyun, she will often test whether he is a gay female superintendent, and often give Liu Qingyun some friendly support and help.
One is Meng Jiahui.
All female police officers have an English name. Meng Jiahui has no name, no identity, only five lines.

In the movie, Meng Jiahui is Andy Lau's "girlfriend" who has only four weeks of life. At least, I think she is.
When they met on the bus for the first time, they encountered a police officer in front of the car for interrogation, and the person to be investigated was Hua Zai. Huazai calmly walked to Meng's side, then sat down and signaled that he would be fine without making a sound. Then he took off his sunglasses and put on Meng, then took off the earplug of Meng's right ear, and finally called her by pressing her shoulder. Lean in.
At this time, the close-up lens that had been used before suddenly opened, and a positive mid-range positioning came. Suddenly a romantic and affectionate couple appeared in front of the viewers, and even the police could not bear to disturb them after they got in the car.

When the two met for the second time, a police car honked and chased after him. Meng Jiahui recognized Hua Tsai who was sitting diagonally across from her. Hua Tsai also saw her. She became nervous and took away the one she placed next to her. Handbag, Hua Zai sat over, she leaned on his shoulder, a couple. The reason for the police chasing was that the bus driver ran the red light. Meng Jiahui smiled awkwardly and raised her head leaning on Hua Tsai's shoulder. I remember Hua Tsai said thank you to her. She said the second line: I read the newspaper the next day and know what you did (the first sentence is: give you back your glasses!). It was not until the driver reminded them that they found that the car had reached the terminus, and there were only two people left in the car, a couple.

At the restaurant, Meng Jiahui ordered something to eat, but Hua Zai only ordered a cup of coffee. Meng Jiahui said the third line: You don’t eat? Hua Tsai was about to answer, and began to cough violently, and the water in the cup was stained with blood. Huazi, who was coughing up blood, said to Meng Jiahui: "It's a pity that there is no time." Meng Jiahui said the fourth line: "What if I have time?" When

Meng Jiahui appeared for the last time, everything was settled. On Christmas night, Liu Qingyun and Meng Jiahui met unexpectedly on the bus. Liu Qingyun didn’t know this woman, but knew the sapphire worn on the woman’s neck.
It was worth 60 million yuan. It was supposed to be a revenge prop in Hua Tsai’s entire drama. As stolen goods, he was seized by the police along with Li Zixiong, but Huazi changed his mind at the last minute and replaced it with diamonds.
Liu Qingyun looked back at Meng Jiahui several times, and finally said awkwardly, Miss, I'm sorry, I have admitted the wrong person, your gems are very beautiful. Meng Jiahui hesitated, sentimentally, and reluctantly said the fifth line: It is fake, sent by a friend. He hasn't appeared since then.
Liu Qingyun said, oh, be careful one day he suddenly popped up to scare you. Keep it safe.


I don't know why I was so deeply moved by her in the movie, but I know how many women in the movie walked around over the years, and finally they all went out, but only Meng Jiahui was still there. In my heart, she has an unconsciously perfection, she is a collection of the best things you can think of.
She is mysterious, silent, fragmented, carrying the soul through, so she can afford to miss it.
She is everyone's woman.
She hinted at all our experiences.
Since we are sensible, we have been imagining, hoping that others can do this, hoping to get along with each other in this way. However, we can only imagine.
The reality is too hard, and everyone has their own direction.

In the morning when I was busy, because I inadvertently reviewed this movie yesterday, leaving a mess of words as a souvenir, for the woman: Meng Jiahui.
