Gathering with friends: Beauty: Petty bourgeoisie restaurants with decent and caring waiters or bars with niche music: Street stalls, you can share tables with strangers Criteria for choosing a mate: Beauty: Like-minded, chatting: The right match, Get the love process: Beauty: Hook up by doing things together --> Formal date --> boyfriend(s)/girlfriend(s) ---> Engaged ---> Married Middle: Fan friend/traveler/colleague/friend Friends ---> Ambiguous friends ---> If you confess successfully, you will become boyfriend and girlfriend ---> Married Chinese in the United States: meal friends/travelers/colleagues/friends of friends---> Ambiguous friends (this Steps can be ignored) ---> If the confession is successful, you will become a boyfriend and a boyfriend, and you can live together ---> Who will pay for the marriage: Beauty: When the woman insists on paying the bill, the boy cannot scramble to pay; the boy can express a gentlemanly treat, but Women can't be taken for granted: usually boys have to pay, and girls are strongly discouraged from paying. Looking at aliens: America: ABCs with authentic English are not foreigners, but they are still Chinese and should not forget their ancestors. For political correctness, they cannot be treated differently. Zhong: People who look foreigners are foreigners, and those who can speak Chinese are even more funny. Falling in love with someone else: Beauty: cheating is immoral, and the scumbag/scumbag who has cheated must break up. Inappropriate love needs to end in time. Zhong: Being a mistress by yourself is because love is selfish, and being a mistress by others is immoral. The scumbag/scumbag who has cheated must be taken back. For moral reasons, we should not break up easily. Girlfriend's best friend: Beauty: It's okay to help each other to catch the junior high school: It's okay to help each other to catch the junior third: The female protagonist is an Asian American who has returned to Hong Kong, and her identity is even more complicated. She has both the independence of Western women and the conservative and cautious of Eastern women. And the male protagonist is still an out-and-out Yankee, and what he has learned is only the fur of Hong Kong. This is probably one of the places where the film lacks heat. Another: Even if the Americans have lived in Hong Kong for ten years and have mastered the language, they still hang out in the small circle of white people all day long. And this small circle is also the last blind spot in my cognition of this city. This blind spot was finally filled by this film on my flight back home from Los Angeles. After living in the United States for so many years, I actually understand the ideas of the male and female protagonists. I have finally become someone who is not used to sharing tables with people.

    The heroine's expression is very pretentious and bitchy, the plot is also very cliché, and the Hong Kong scenery is not very well shot, why would I watch such a stupid movie?

    I don't know why I hate the heroine so much that she doesn't like her dominance over everything, stepping down others to elevate herself to be Asian, but she doesn't know about all cultures! Hahahaha I definitely won't let my daughter become like this in the future, but she thinks of me and my boyfriend, I'm still very angry and told my British bf that the heroine is sick and doesn't like her character
