Why don't we start over

If you saw him as a movie about same-sex love, you'd be dead wrong.

Whether you are homosexual or heterosexual, if you experience it, you will definitely find an outlet for your soul.



In our life journey, we will always experience such a few lovers.

They may be gentle and considerate, or they may be arrogant and willful, or, like He Baorong in the film, their surly appearance hides a fragile and sensitive heart. Whether he has a lover or not, he will be lonely to death.



"Let's do it all over again." This was the man's most common phrase.

Every time they quarrel, hurt each other, and feel dull and boring, he will leave. But it always comes back in the end.

In He Baorong, I found this myself.

He is like an unwilling cat, the more he loves you, the more he will scratch you.

After he ran away again and again, Li Yaohui was tired. He was tired of such repetitions. It wasn't that he didn't love him, he was just tired.

In fact, He Baorong only loves himself. He yearns for a long-lasting relationship, but he cannot help but fear the bruises and sufferings that will arise in this relationship.

After each separation, he would shuttle among different men, and then returned to Li Yaohui after exhaustion, until the man who forbeared could no longer accept him.

Leslie Cheung uses his extremely tense limbs and expressions to deduce the complex inner world of a character full of contradictions and struggles.

I don't know, He Baorong, if it wasn't for his brother, who else would be more suitable.



Li Yaohui went to the waterfall alone, looking at the pouring tide, letting it wet his clothes, he was so lonely at that moment.

"I always felt that there should be two people standing here."

They have lost each other and lost themselves in the city where they shared a dream and came together.



Years later, Li Yaohui, will you still remember He Baorong?

The one who always chooses to leave, but always wants to come back.

What he said about leaving was not really leaving, but he left too thoroughly.

    Photography assistant Li Yaohui He Baorong, Wang Jiawei, you are too bad

    Who is He Baorong? Who wants to see the true waterfall in a turning light? Who cares about the sound in the corridor? Who hid the passport, who hugged you and kissed you and fell drunk on the rooftops of Buenos Aires in boxer shorts? And until the end, who was so drenched by the rapids of the waterfall that he couldn't tell if there was a tear? Of course, I also love the tortoise’s happytogether...
