But unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s because the director Wang Ying’s skills are limited, or the story is too difficult to present in the form of a movie. In short, the movie “Snowflake Secret Fan” is not as good as imagined, and the broken sense of time and space and the blunt switch between ancient and modern are disrupted. The original charm of the story makes the characters and culture in the story blurred. Jiang Wu and "Wolverine" have changed from supporting roles to dispensable tricks, leaving only the stunning Jun Zhixian and the man who has done his homework. Li Bingbing.
Chinese female writer Lisa Kwong told a mysterious and sad story in her English novel "Snowflake and the Secret Fan": The time is the late Qing Dynasty, and the location is Jiangyong, Hunan. There are two characters, one is Xuehua, from a famous family; , born in a poor household, because they were born in the same year, the same month and the same day, they became "old friends" under the help of local matchmakers. They were not homosexuals, but spiritual marriage partners. From then on, they only had each other as the best sisters and depended on each other. , after a lifetime.
Later, when they grew up, they married Lily with perfect little feet and married a good family, while Xuehua lost all his family property because his father smoked opium, and finally became the butcher's wife. Lily's husband's family does not allow Lily to communicate with Xuehua again, and their only contact is with the Nushu written on the fan. This kind of mysterious text that has gone through hundreds of years, only women can understand, and it is the only bridge between them leading to each other's hearts.
Later, the disparity of identities became an obstacle before them. Xuehua chose to alienate Lily on purpose, but Lily, who did not know it, misread the Nushu from Xuehua, thinking that the other party had made a new "old friend", and became angry. After burning the fan, I cut it in two, and this cut is my life. Before Xuehua died, she found Lily and cleared up the misunderstanding. Only then did Lily know that Xuehua had only one sister from the beginning to the end, and even in the years when she hated herself, she never said a bad word to her.
At the end of the novel, Lily takes Snowflake's daughter as her daughter-in-law, treats her as her own, binds her feet, and teaches her to read. The descendants - Nina and Sofia, met and became good sisters in modern society. Nina devoted herself to Sofia, accompanied her in her most difficult moments, and even gave up her future for her, while Sofia was unable to bear it. Such a good choice to deliberately alienate Nina... Whether it is a reappearance of history, or a coincidence, a car accident cleared up the misunderstandings, and made a pair of sisters meet again and merge with each other.
"Our topic is always in the dream, from love to exile, from unrealistic to the most ordinary grievance." Zhao Yonghua explained the friendship between sisters in her song. She also said that my friends are all my lovers, who have accompanied me through the bitter youth. Therefore, the story of "Snowflake Secret Fan" is still very interesting, at least let you know that in ancient times, a fan and a few simple words could convey the deepest friendship, and even if there were misunderstandings, they could eventually be eliminated; The tired letters are also difficult for people to see through their own hearts. Time is sometimes the antidote. If things go on like this, dredging and removing fire; sometimes it is arsenic.
