1. 1919! Almost 100 years ago! A reason for liking old movies has been found. They are already familiar with the suffering, so unlike today's movies, they always try to give an ending and a fulfillment. At that time, it was clean and neat, click, THE END, open and upright. Tragedy is tragedy, don't avoid it.

2. At that time, some people in the West thought that they were barbaric and began to praise the yellow race. Although this yellow race was an immigrant himself, although his wish to spread Buddhism to the West was not fulfilled, he did his best and gave that poor person. The girl was warm for a while.

3. The girl's father is so rude. There is a sharp contrast between the boxer profession and the neat and elegant storefronts opened by the Chinese. In addition, symbols such as silk clothes and porcelain are also evident in the film.

4. The personal desire to spread Buddhism from the east to the west will definitely have different effects in a planned mission without great national power and a certain number of people.

    In American films a hundred years ago, it tried to express a Chinese official who went to London to try to educate barbarians, but was defeated by reality and drowned in a Chinatown grocery store to make a living. A chance encounter with a white lady who was raped at home, but in an era when race is actually serious, is this kind of love redemption or torture? 100 years later, discrimination still has not changed fundamentally, this is the best reason for revolution~!
