Douban top250, ranked 88.

The film Sweet Honey is the representative work of director Chen Kexin. He won 9 awards, including the Best Film Award of 16 Hong Kong Film Awards, the Best Feature Film Award of Taiwan Province Film, and the Best Film of Seattle International Film Festival. It is a rare China film masterpiece.

Li Xiaojun, the hero played by Dawn, is a young man who came to Hong Kong from the mainland to make a living. He is simple and honest, attaches great importance to feelings and righteousness, and pursues a plain life. He works hard and dreams of marrying his fiancee Xiao Ting (Kristy Yang) one day.

The heroine Li Qiao (Maggie Cheung) comes to Hong Kong from Guangdong. She is diligent, intelligent, daring to try all new things, adventurous and eager to make a fortune.

* * * Identity background brings them closer, while love for Teresa Teng makes two lonely souls closely dependent.

So they had sex. Afterwards, they lied to themselves that they were just good friends and sang Long Live Friendship.

What is the origin, how to expect affection. Some things, once started, are like falling into the nose hell, which will only get deeper and deeper.

Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, the stock market plummeted, Li Qiao went bankrupt and was heavily in debt. She can only make money by massage.

The choice between love and bread, what's more, there is an insurmountable Xiao Ting in the middle. How can a person's happiness be based on the suffering of others? Li Qiao chose to quit.

At dusk, they walked aimlessly in the crowded street. Li Qiao said: "The purpose of your coming to Hong Kong is not for you, and the purpose of your coming to Hong Kong is not for me."

So, two lovers missed it and disappeared in a strange street.

Three years later, the dream came true, Xiaojun married Xiao Ting, and Li Qiao became the woman of the underworld boss Bao Ge (Ceng Zhiwei), living a rich life.

I want to live in peace with each other, but I find myself deeply rooted in love, and I can't hide our thoughts anymore. However, things are unpredictable. When they finally made up their minds to be together, fate drew a gap between them. Li Qiao and Bao Ge went into exile together, and Xiaojun went to the other side of the ocean.

Going around, the train of years flies by, but the fate of the two can only be like parallel lines, out of reach.

1On May 8th, 995, Teresa Teng died of bronchial asthma in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The news came that two grieving people walked aimlessly on the streets of a foreign country like lost souls and finally met again at the corner. They smiled at each other. ......

Based on the new immigrants from Hong Kong at the end of the 20th century, this film depicts the joys and sorrows of little people in the background of great times. Cruel reality, cherished dreams and passionate love all make this film affectionate, delicate and moving.

Next, let's talk about Maggie Cheung's acting skills. No comparison, no harm. When facial paralysis is rampant, it is common to laugh and cry with eye drops, and you can understand how Maggie Cheung's acting reached its peak.

Her delicate performance also won her several behind-the-scenes trophies and became a textbook model.

When she was tired of wandering and planned to have a baby with Brother Bao and settle down and stop wandering, Brother Bao died unexpectedly in the street. The police asked her to identify the body, and when she saw the Mickey Mouse pattern on Brother Bao's back, she actually smiled!

Then it turned into great sadness, tears poured down, and the eyes that didn't want to believe the truth were heartbreaking to read. This kind of acting can be described as penetrating.

Brother Bao's back is still printed with patterns that made her happy that year. How can things change without heartbreaking? Her praise is layered and expressed in place, which makes the listener sad and makes the listener cry.

After many years, after the tempering of life, the two finally met. She was shocked at first, looked at it for a long time, and then smiled from the heart.

"Even if we meet, we shouldn't know each other. Our faces are covered with dust and our temples are frosty.". Finally, we no longer miss it.

Conscience, acting with true conscience.

The director's design at the end is also ingenious. Time goes back to 1986. The train that arrived at the station and the surging crowd originally started the fate from the moment they set foot in Hong Kong.

Time flies in a hurry. In retrospect, it seems like a dream and it is true. It's just that we can't.

The tragedy of the two may have been doomed. Li Xiaojun is mediocre and simple, and his dream is only to be with the person he loves. Go with the flow, not deliberately pursue.

And Li Qiao is more like an invincible Xiao Qiang. He is tenacious, brave and knows what he wants.

Two diametrically opposed personalities are doomed to make diametrically opposed choices. Like birds and fish, one soars in the sky and the other dives into the deep sea.

The distance between you and me is like the stars looking at each other, but there is no intersection. The distance between you and me, like branches growing on the same root, cannot depend on each other in the wind.

We don't need to blame Li Qiao for his determination. Sometimes, it is more difficult to give up than to persist. For them, life is not only love, but also resistance to the cruelty of life. Only when you have experienced it can you understand how absurd and uninhibited the story of the prince and princess in fairy tales is.

Life can be so cruel when it takes off its mask of disguise. We are in the whirlpool of life, and maybe we can't even make a choice.

But fortunately, this time, love won, crossed time and Qianshan, and I finally stood in front of you. Even if you live and die for ten years, you won't forget. Everything, everything is too deep, and there is no resentment in the depths.

The lonely shadow of the moon should be lonely. I ask you where is the way home? Even though the water is boundless, you are still home. Even if I go through the thorns, I will come as promised.

At the end of the 20th century, a large number of mainlanders went to Hong Kong, hoping to break into a new world. Faced with huge cultural differences and material shortage, they all bravely carried it down. However, spiritual loneliness is the most unbearable, and the night is long. Teresa Teng's songs have become a good medicine to comfort wandering souls and an unforgettable memory for a generation.

1995, a generation of superstars fell. Since then, there has been no sound of nature between heaven and earth, which has also drawn a sad end to an era.

We're just little people. In such an era, we wander around, love and hate, and never get help.
