Story themes that I didn't understand when I was a kid

I watched it when I was a child. At that time, I only knew how to watch cool action scenes. I didn't have any impression of Xiaogu's mother Li Xia. I remembered that she was sick and died later. Xiaogu has a new mother.

When I was a child, I didn't understand why the movie was named "Letter to Dad", consolidating the letter I wrote to my dad, but none of them could be sent. Such a title is not attractive, so the popularity has not been high.

It is only now that I know that Li Xia is the bond character in the film. The letter to my father is not only a letter written by Xiao Gu, but also a letter written by Li Xia, a gentle, kind, sincere and simple woman who entrusted her life to a letter before her death. It was when Inspector Fang saw Li Xia like this that he had feelings for their family.

"I want you to write a letter to Dad every week and think of him every day. Don't forget Dad's face."

"You think about it before you do everything, and I'm relieved."

These are very simple and simple requirements, and it is these requirements that maintain our kinship. How many people can do it now?

The film's narrative is rigorous, the structure is clear and lively, the theme of the story, the portrayal of characters, and the action of martial arts are actually excellent works in Jet Li's films. It's a pity that the commercial packaging is insufficient, it is not as dazzling as Huang Feihong and Fang Shiyu, and it is a pity that many people missed such a good movie back then.
