The ending of "Farewell My Concubine" was unfortunately not filmed by Li Bihua. Netizen: The movie is better.

Farewell My Concubine is still one of the top films in China. It is also the only film in China that won the highest prize at Cannes Film Festival. He was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

If you haven't seen the movie, I'm sorry, I'm terrible. At the end of the movie, Cheng Dieyi, played by Leslie Cheung, took out his sword and cut himself.

but the original is not like this.

There are two original versions of the film Farewell My Concubine. The first version was written by Li Bihua when he was a screenwriter in Radio Television Hong Kong, but it has been lost, but it can be seen from the Hong Kong TV series Farewell My Concubine. When Chen Kaige's version of Farewell My Concubine became a hit, the author Li Bihua selected some plots of the film and adapted them into his hardcover version of the original work. Therefore, he also filed a lawsuit with the film screenwriter Reed.

But the ending of the new edition of Farewell My Concubine is the same as that of the TV series.

In Farewell My Concubine, Duan Xiaolou later immigrated to Hong Kong and became an ordinary person. When he was in Hong Kong, he met Cheng Dieyi who was visiting Hong Kong on behalf of the Beijing Opera Troupe.

Cheng's appearance is beyond recognition and becomes obscene. And married.

When Cheng Dieyi returned to Beijing from Hong Kong with the Beijing Opera Troupe, he only left Duan Xiaolou and wandered around the streets of Hong Kong.

this ending is realistic and sad. However, when Chen Kaige got the script, he changed the ending to what it is now, and it was suggested by Leslie Cheung himself.

However, according to the famous Hong Kong writer Luo Feng's Forbidden Butterfly, Li Bihua himself is not satisfied with this adaptation.

which do you think is better, the novel version or the movie version?
