      get married, why?

      To be honest, every time when Weiwei speaks, I have the urge to hit the south wall twice.
      I don't know if Li An has stayed on that small island in the southeast for a long time, or if he has not been in contact with real Chinese since he went to the United States.
      Could it be that the mainland girl...

      As a director, Ang Lee's performance in "The Wedding Banquet" is still a bit naive. The rough details in the movie are everywhere, far less than the meticulous work after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"; but in terms of content and plot, this I feel that this is one of Ang Lee’s best films: I put a lot of effort into it, and the portrayal of cultural differences is accurate, sharp and lively. The film Lee Ang is more successful as a screenwriter than as a director.
