I was born that year

I happened to be born that year, and Hong Kong was hesitant that year. Now, looking at old movies, I gradually understand why so many people appreciate Hong Kong movies and never forget them. Teresa Teng was synonymous with idols and sweet songs in the 1970s and 1980s. Even now, the sound of singing can tug people's heartstrings. The love for Teresa Teng, so the story of two people happened. Li Qiao and Li Xiaojun.

The story takes place in three major backgrounds: the tide of immigration from the mainland, the tide of immigration from Hong Kong, and the first wave of repatriation on the eve of Hong Kong's return to China. Therefore, the film made the audience feel the "floating" of Hong Kong. Teresa Teng's death was also a real situation encountered during the filming process. Chen Kexin thought of adding it temporarily, so many people should resonate with that part.

"In the Mood for Love" let me see Maggie Cheung's beauty, and "Sweet Sweetness" let me see her acting skills, although many other films have long been able to prove it, but I haven't had time to watch it. How can I explain the matter of love clearly? Even though we are in love, we may not be able to be together. Maybe we are all surprised that Li Qiao chose Brother Leopard, but Brother Leopard secretly tattooed Mickey Mouse and drove Li Qiao away, who can read understand his love.

The movie has too many resonances and characteristics of the times.
