    In fact, the film is about the feelings of the director (the 1.5th generation of young immigrants), so the scores given by friends in the United States are significantly higher than those in China, and the second generation of Chinese born in the United States is probably not easy to understand... In The Chinese may seem a little fake, but in fact, they are all very real from the perspective of the 1.5 generation (international students should also feel the same). The actors are all so good.

    The most unrewarding film I have seen this year, except for the central idea that can be summed up in one sentence, neither expressing nor thinking, cliche is so boring, even the hypnotic function is lost, and I can only wait for the end with my eyes open.

The Farewell quotes

  • Nai Nai: I walked the path of life and I have to say, you will face with difficulties. But you have to have an open mind. Don't be like a bull hitting his horns all over the walls of the room. Life isn't just about what you do, it's more about how you do it.

  • Billi: You know, one of the few good memories of my childhood were those summers at Nai Nais's. They had that garden, Ye Ye and I would catch dragonflies. And then we just moved to the States. Everything was different. Everyone was gone. And it was just the three of us.

    Jian: I know it was hard. It was hard for us too.

    Billi: I wanted to believe that it was a good thing, but all I saw was fear in your eyes. And I was confused and scared constantly because you never told me what was going on. And then Ye Ye died. You didn't even tell me he was sick. So it felt like he just vanished suddenly. And you wouldn't even let me go to his funeral.

    Jian: You were at school. We didn't want you to miss school. We did what we thought was best for you.

    Billi: But I never saw him again. And every time I came back to China, he just... he just wasn't there anymore. And I come back and he's just gone. The house is gone, A Die's gone, our Beijing home is gone and soon she'll be gone too.
