    The most passionate and tragic part of the Tsui Hark Wong Fei Hung series. It's not just that Donnie Yen and Jet Li's whipping into the stick, it's not just that Mo Shaocong and Jiang Dawei contributed their outstanding roles. What's more, the whole movie has a "soul" - what is China? Is it the lively and lazy Guangzhou city in Nanyin's "Frightening Back to Xiaomeng and Recalling Qiujuan"? Is it the White Lotus Sect full of old-fashioned religious beauty but stubborn? Is it Nalan Yuanshu, who represents the Qing court, ambitious but self-sufficient? Or a revolutionary who "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood"? The views of Tsui Hark and others couldn't be clearer - middle school for the body, Western learning for the application, integration, and saving the world. Chinese movies want to give birth to another genius like Tsui Hark, I don't know how many years it will take.
