    From a technical point of view, Zhang Yimou from the Department of Photography has an extraordinary sensitivity to the camera lens. Although there is still some legacy of academy temperament, he is not rigid. However, from the perspective of the story, his emotions are not expressed from the heart of the character, but he is a bystander. The description of the angle, so the sense of substitution is not always strong

    After high school, I remember that it was very hot that day~ The movie channel was playing this movie~ My heart immediately became calm~ Only then did I know that the countryside could be so beautiful~ Only then did I know that a girl could be so beautiful~ This girl is Zhang Ziyi~ Love can be so dreamy~ So simple~ I know I'm crying~ The boy is so easily moved~ It was really simple at that time~
