Great portray of the problem of long distance relationship

This movie deserve a perfect ten because it accurately portrayed the problem of study abroad.

Ever since the 1980's, the trend of studying abroad never subside. However, the long term separation caused serious strain on relationships and this movie accurately depicts this common problem faced by the families of those Chinese went abroad.

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.

The romance genre features the theme of romantic relationships and emotional connections between characters. These stories focus on the development of love, desire, and intimacy between protagonists, often exploring the challenges, conflicts, and triumphs that arise in their relationships.
