At that time, like many of my peers, I had a locked diary, which locked many thoughts that I thought I was shameful or unworthy of others. I was old-fashioned and said in front of my parents that I was not exempt from the commonplace. Now, my mother further pointed out that you have to eat, go to the toilet, and look in the mirror to avoid the vulgarity of ghosts. I'm not kidding, the only unshakable ideal at that time was to be good, everything else could be vague, only this one point could not be shaken, it was the principle, the interest and reason for living. Of course, you can't say this to your parents. Parents will definitely understand this sentence very seriously. This is a reason to live. Then the child's life is in danger at any time. In fact, I really don't know what is good. I think the most notorious scene I have ever seen is in a very kitsch Hong Kong martial arts film. Brigitte Lin's Dongfang Invincibility is really beautiful, and the moment of dying is even more beautiful. Thrilling, originally I was most afraid of watching bloody scenes, but the unbeaten blood of the East did not frighten me at all. His chest was stabbed by his lover's sword, his blood spurted like fireworks, and the sky was full of flowers and rain, and it was magnificent and boundless. Dongfang Invincible is not afraid of pain, and still dances vertically and horizontally, like a phoenix draped in flames, splendid. The flame was extinguished, and the red Dongfang Invincible became a piece of red feathers, lightly but decisively falling into the abyss of confusion. The young girl Du Yan thought desperately in the face of the screen: It was a good death.

time flies, and I have never stopped loving this film. It's amazing every time I look at it.
There is a view that film and television works are often no better than words. But for this film, I admit that my imagination is limited. I always remember such a comment, and I agree with it: in the season when martial arts films were in the doldrums, the hero Tsui Hark jumped into the field and played the fierce chapter of the undefeated East, which opened the era of Hong Kong's new martial arts films, which is probably also Hong Kong. The most moving era of the film.
