Her lover disappeared into a trench called "Dusk Bingo" on the front line. Most people said he was dead. Only Mattie was as stubborn as an albatross in the sky, looking for every clue. In this world, affectionate people always suffer a little more than others, and this pain comes from attachment. Albatross don't stop flying because they can't find their way, and affectionate people don't stop because of despair. Mattie, played by Audrey Tatu, drags her crippled feet around, just for the phrase "Mathild's Marrying Manech."
At the end of the film, Mattie finds Ma Li, who has lost her memory, in a picturesque manor. She is wearing a white shirt and wearing lipstick, like when Ma Li was just separated when she was seventeen, Ma Li was concentrating on building a building. A house, no longer recognize her. She just watched him silently, watching him, reunion means a new beginning. I think the word love is all in her eyes at the moment.
Everyone's attitude towards love is different. A Yun in "Lian Lian Feng Chen" couldn't wait for A Yuan, who was a soldier, to be discharged from the army, so he married someone else, leaving A Yuan crying secretly in the dark night. And Mattie in "The Long Engagement", holding a sliver of hope, never gave up. The world is vast, like the ocean, and people who are affectionate are probably the pearls left in this ocean.
