Bili was walking on the streets of New York with lots of traffic. She stunned the birds in the courtyard on another piece of land with two ha-hos. Grandma's voice and smile were still lingering in her memory. The Chinese, American and Japanese families cooked a pot of stew in the Northeast. The structure of the play saw the shadows of Yang Dechang, Ang Lee and others. The tone of the atmosphere has traces of Hirokazu-eda, and the way of telling the story is completely Western. Identity and...

I haven’t seen a movie for a long time, and a colleague I don’t usually meet highly recommended it to me for two consecutive days, which aroused my curiosity, so I went to the most literary cinema in our city to watch this movie. What impresses me in the film is not the difference between Chinese and Western cultures, nor the tragedy of dying, nor the ethical question of whether a terminally ill person has the right to know, but the ordinary family affection. Regarding going abroad, my...

2019.01.31 Sundance Film Festival / The most emotional film in the entire Sundance. It is the most anticipated Chinese element movie in 2019. The director is Chinese. The most powerful thing is the film's detailed grasp of the cultural differences and conflicts between China and the United States. Pretty accurate.

Like a display stand, the details (such as the daily details of shredding the petals to prevent theft when sweeping a grave) are stacked with clichéd and some even outdated wonders of Chinese-style life, although you know these exhibits are just deliberately collected. , but there will still be moments touched by it. Aside from some catastrophic parts (such as the handsome doctor), the aunt-in-law and the comrades-in-arms reminiscence scenes are very life-like, Lin Xiaojie's performance is...
The Farewell Comments

real chinese movies
So real. This is what I see in China.
Crying and mourning, family banquets, smiles... Collective, responsibility, concealment, the elements are captured very accurately, not only in simple collages, but extremely delicate and touching my heart.
Everyone at the family banquet thought they were decent...

Some trivia about goodbyes
The English name of the movie should have implied that this is the farewell, but the Chinese world still translates it into Don't tell her, and it should be considered the core of the movie.
My grandmother is also from the Northeast. Although she has been in Beijing since I was born, the way many...

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.

Billi: [frustrated] Are you going to tell Nai Nai?
Haiyan: I can't, Billi. I won't go against my family.
Uncle Haibin: Billi, there are things you misunderstand. You guys moved to the West long ago. You think one's life belongs to oneself. But that's the difference between the East and the West. In the East, a person's life is part of a whole. Family. Society.
Uncle Haibin: You want to tell Nai Nai the truth, because you're afraid to take the responsibility for her. Because it's too big of a burden. If you tell her, then you don't have to feel guilty. We're not telling Nai Nai because it's our duty to carry this emotional burden for her.
