There is always time to get together and leave, maybe you will accompany me to watch the long water

Today is April 1st. It has been thirteen years since my brother left. Thinking of his face and the Golden Image Award in a certain year, when Huang Kaiqin sang the song "Chasing" when the camera fell on Tony Leung’s face, I was stupefied to see the flash of sadness and affection... Dispel the sorrow and grief in the heart. Regarding this drama, I gave myself this day, so that the imaginary Wei Zai is Li Yaohui, and my brother is He Baorong. They lived in the story for a period of time, a period full of light and shadow of Wong Kar Wai's movies. That kind of day full of fierce and restrained love... There is a collection of TV literature that I watched all day when I was young. Now I only remember an author who wrote, “I’m with the same girl every day at school and after school. We are often only one arm apart. I can reach her by reaching out. However, this arm’s distance is enough to pass through. The indifference of the years." Later the two separated and never saw each other again. What kind of youth sprout is this, and what kind of sadness it is. Regarding He Baorong, Li Yaohui once had skin relatives, so he won't have the regret of the arm's length above. However, there was a tangible love lingering, but he couldn't touch the other person's heart, and failed to grasp the other person's soul. Such a pair finally separated, how could there be less regret in my heart? How can the loneliness brought about by the distance created by such a split be comparable. If you knew so, would you still meet? But as a viewer who watched them walk through that part of the road, I hope there will be if-if they can come back, they can say to each other, "There is always a time to get together and leave, maybe you will accompany me to watch the long stream." They That period of time is also a microcosm of the era that Hong Kong movies are hard to return to. With so many good actors, so vigorous creative passion, and so insightful Wong Kar-wai, he chose these two men. They have different styles, but they can also act in delicate dramas. Lai Yaohui's concentration and affectionate style; Ho Baorong's graceful paranoia and flamboyance; the director chooses themselves and also chooses their plays. They are acting in their play, and there is also the classic nod to let me know that "Li Yaohui" remembers "He Baorong". But I hope that if everything can be done again, they will never forget themselves. In that way, the viewers will be less sad and less sigh... Regarding the departure of my brother, some years ago some people talked about not looking at the words that glorified suicide. I immediately replied: "On the basis of a hundred years, nothing like this can happen again; on the basis of today, I hope that the sadness of my brother's admirers will gradually calm down. I did not understand him before he left, and I only started to watch him after he left. His drama, listening to his songs, knowing that he is good. Slowly I don’t want to celebrate April Fool’s Day again."

    The part of Leslie Cheung crying while hugging the blanket was too heart-wrenching.
