I can't even begin to describe how good this movie is.
Hands down, as of this very moment (I just finished watching the movie btw) This is my favorite Chinese movie ever. I would say my favorite movie ever but since it has such a bittersweet ending (more bitter than sweet for others) I can't say I prefer it above all of the other movies I have ever watching but it comes so damn close.
I have seen "sad ending" movies before. I say sad ending because the movie itself, isn't sad. It's just that we don't get that fairy tale "happy ending".
I would really suggest watching if you like the main actress because she does such good job (like always lets be honest here lol). And also if you just want a little pause from life and simply might want to cry a little. And trust me, you will cry (come of y'all will create whole new rivers XD )
