Any form of addiction is bad, it can ruin a family, relationship and friendship. It's heartbreaking to see how Ivy suffered when she found out that her husband was a drug addict. Her struggle to help her husband out
was a desperate one. One nice part of this movie is the beautiful theme song!

I was thoroughly inspired by the script of "Song Of Tomorrow" and the parts of husband and wife played by Chiao Chuang and my most favourite actress, Ivy ling Po respectively.

Being a medical staff myself,I can relate to the harmful effects and withdrawal symptoms of drug addiction on the patients. As such, I was very impressed with Chiao Chuang who portrayed as a drug addict so well with determination to kick off the habit in the end.

On the other hand, Ivy Ling Po, who normally portrayed as a handsome male impersonator in Huangmei operas, certainly acted very well in this modern classic as a strong, sensitive and supportive wife.

Three cheers for the director, Doe Chin!!!
