Emotional matters are, in the final analysis, fascinated by ghosts. So when young people go after the so-called talented women, what our uncle-level people think about is the goddess.
So, among the few pomp and circumstance, I chose the nearest one, and the result was no surprise: in a small movie theater, there were only a few audience members of my age. So, from start to finish, everyone just watched the movie quietly.

Sweet Honey This movie was shot in a chronological way. This may be because the screenwriter himself is a person with a heavy sense of history (it is said that the original name of the movie is Dacheng Xiaoai), but the later "China Partner" can also be seen by everyone, Chen Kexin is actually better at this kind of straight line way of presentation. The straight-line technique is the easiest, but we know it's very demanding of the story itself.

Talk about 1987.
When Li Qiao, who was praised by Li Xiaojun for knowing how to start a business, saved 30,000 yuan, she was a little carried away. The dream of making a fortune made her think of investing in stocks. Because she said, in Hong Kong, a unique thing is stock speculation.
However, in October 1987, Hong Kong experienced the largest stock market crash in history. By December, the entire Hang Seng Index had fallen by 50%.
Although this stock market crash cannot be compared with the largest stock market crash in history, it is enough to make many people go bankrupt. Regarding the emergence of this stock market crash, on the one hand, it is the impact of the decline in globalization, and on the other hand, it is not unrelated to the substantial financing of Li Ka-shing's four companies. Since then, it is not surprising that Hong Kong stock investors have regarded large-scale financing as a sign that the stock index has peaked.
At this time, Li Qiao's account only had double-digit assets left. In addition, she also owed a lot of debt. What does this mean? Maybe Li Qiao used investment leverage, otherwise she wouldn't be able to lose so much money.
And if she can't lose so much money, she won't be a masseuse, and the split with Li Xiaojun may not be reasonable.
Therefore, the stock market crash in 1987 was quite important in promoting the whole story.
Sometimes I think that if the listing of PetroChina in 2008 is used as the background, it may be possible to write a lot of thrilling love stories.

Two years later. Li Xiaojun's last letter to Xiaoting mentioned that Beijing is very hot this summer, and people have died. Unexpectedly, this sentence has been retained. Of course, the movie suddenly jumps to the winter of 1990. So we don't know what year this hot summer is.

In 1995, American tour guide Li Qiao led a group of mainland tourists in the United States. Many people posed for photos in front of the Statue of Liberty. And whether it was Li Qiao or Li Xiaojun, their eyes also fell on the Statue of Liberty.
This scene is rather bitter and contradictory. Especially when a mainland tourist said: "Nowadays, Hong Kong people are going to the mainland to find work".
Now, 20 years have passed. Maybe everyone will sigh now, how many Chinese people can go to the United States to buy gucci bags in the past 20 years, but at that time, people like Chen Kexin were able to catch this new trend and show it in the movie. . Chen Kexin himself is also one of the most comfortable in the Mainland among all Hong Kong directors. I think this is actually showing Chen's long-standing view of the big picture and the big trend. Before one country, two systems was implemented in Hong Kong, Chen Kexin had already seen the future of the world. And in the movie, it is the sad fate of these two fallen people, adding more bleak colors of some countries and history.
But that's the crux of the story. If these two people did not go to Hong Kong, then after 10 years, they may both be able to live their ideal lives, but as Xiaoting said, Li Xiaojun is here, Li Qiao is here, and she is here too.
Li Xiaojun said, we will never go back.

Of course, the ending of the movie itself is too fateful and reunion, maybe it is the greater probability that the two never meet. But even so, rewatching this movie after so many years still feels that reunion is not unacceptable. Everyone wants to have such a fate.
But the reality must be crueler than the movie. After just a few years, the era of mainland cousins and country girls has come to an end, and not many Chinese people still dream of becoming Hong Kongers. Not only Teresa Teng, but also the days of the Four Heavenly Kings are gone forever.
Things are not people.
Therefore, there can be many joys and sorrows in the world, but there can never be a second "Sweet Honey".
