Lawrence,
Thank you for posting your review and some pics from this movie w/ Ivy and Chin Feng, it's a very sad yet touching story. I salute both Ivy and Chin Feng for playing such characters, both trapped by their circumstances in a small village in China - and not roles which could be seen as "glamorous" or "star" roles... No wonder Chin Feng won an acting award for portraying the mute guy, he did well in playing the "simple" guy and his concern for Ivy.

My chief complaint about this movie is Ling Po's wig. It is stiff and unnatural looking and detracts from her fine performance. This may well be Chin Feng's finest hour on celluloid.
I don't enjoy this one. A lot night scenes if I remember right - making the movie more sombre and drab.
