Yun shui yao (2006)
Good Movie
I saw this movie with a bag oranges for an afternoon entertainment but I ate only two before I felt guilty. This is a moving story telling about true love and should be dealt with seriously.
The story began in the 1940s when Chen Qiushui(Chen Kun)was a diligent medical student who came to a rich dentist's home as a home-teacher.There he met the pretty girl Wang Biyun(Xu Ruoxuan)who was the elder daughter.By teaching Biyun's younger brother they had a pleasant time together and eventually fell in love with each other.Later Chen was discovered to be a communist radical. He was fired by Biyun's mother and he had to escape from TaiWan. However,Biyun was determined to wait for Chen. She engaged with him the day he left. Chen came to mainland, served as a doctor in the army, participated the Korean War, and went to Tibet after the war. In Korea he met Wang Jindi(Li Bingbing),Jindi fell in love with Chen, who refused her because of Biyun. But Jindi's love is sincere.She paid full respect to Wang Biyun and she knew it's impossible for Chen to reunite with Biyun. Chen was in a dilemma, for one thing it's not probable to see Biyun again, for another Jindi's sacrifice made her love hard to refuse. He get married with Jindi.Several years later he was killed in an accident. In Taiwan, Biyun was still waiting for him and took care of his mother for him.This waiting lasted for as long as her life.
Tai Wan get rid of Japanese Control in the year 1945 and from then on there's gap between Taiwan and mainland. Especially before 1970's, no communication is possible.Under distorting political events young people's love is always smashed. We all should think about whether it is worthwhile to wait for a lover that much. I think yes, for the more we cherish love, the more resplendent love is. But I fully respect your choice for we are not living in a movie after all.

As a Chinese, I like this move
As a Chinese born in the 80s I found this somewhat old story truly moving. The film is taken in northern China (HeBei province, ChengDe city) which happens to be near my hometown. But it's not for this reason I like this movie,of course. The director managed to put the story in a beautiful scenery and the music is moving too. Although I thought it unwise to cry before a movie, for many times I can't hold my tears. You know, at that time(before 1980) China is in a conflicting and somewhat unfreedom situation. Boys and girls get to know each other and marry though other people(usually their parents)'s "introduction".And some people(expecially those who has land,academic status,capital) were beaten,put into prison,forced to do heavy jobs for no reason at all. Teachers at that time was in a very low social position. In the movie the teacher is honored because the little village is far away from political movements. Although in such a blurred situation and such poverty, there is still shining true love. I think this is the moving part. And now we have every freedom to date a girl, to go wherever we want, to possess. But that kind of love is not practically available to me and to most Chinese.Is innocency and simplicity the source of happiness? he he
