good

I watched the movie "China Box" because a Westerner said it was too good.
When I got the CD in the library and watched the casing, I would never have imagined that it was a movie about the return of Hong Kong in 1997. It was like a romantic affair between a Chinese girl and a foreigner. Indeed, the movie was about a heartbreaking love affair.
The love between a mainland girl and an Englishman is only as short as a few happy nights. They love each other so deeply that an Englishman can't marry a mainland girl. On the day of Hong Kong's handover, the British left her forever because of blood cancer, and disappeared in China, a land that already belongs to China, but left the mainland girl with endless love and the courage to be reborn.
After watching it, I couldn't help but ask myself how a Westerner could say such a good thing about this movie. It's a really good movie, I agree with it.

Chinese Box quotes

  • John: You must get a piece of jade, and keep it close. Then your blood will go into the stone, and the stone will get into your blood. The blood will then become stone, and you will stop bleeding.

  • [last lines]

    John: Part of your life, you give me a moment. Me sure in spite of the past, and in spite of the future. This tick of our lifetime is one moment you love me.
