is also these men that make her truly feel her own sense of existence. The
dating agency held a social dance party. Wu Hongyan was invited to participate in the dance performance.
could be in a dance hall full of men with smoky ambiguities, but she just stared at the pairs of men and women in a daze, as if everything was gone. It has nothing to do with yourself.

has experienced many failures, Wu Hongyan’s inner line of defense has become lower and lower, is like loveIt's really out of reach.
At this time, a man named Li Jun broke into Wu Hongyan's life.
And this Li Jun is the husband of the executed prisoner.
Li Jun was honest and didn't commit any crimes, but the director fired Li Jun because of his disapproval of the dead.
Li Jun, whose everything was ruined, did not have the courage to fight, and when he saw this woman who personally sent away his wife, his psychology began to twist.
So Li Jun decided to pretend to be a blind date, put an axe and a knife in the bag and followed Wu Hongyan, wanted to find a chance to kill her and then hurry up.

Diao Yinan’s film narrative is often in compliance with the environment.
has a lot of space in the film to create the plight of ordinary people at the bottom. The plight of will be released bit by bit when you are away from the noisy crowd.
For example, Li Jun seems to be regarded as mentally ill by his workers, but he is secretly planning his revenge plan;
he will eat the ashes of his deceased wife and use this weird way to pay homage to the beautiful past;

desire and humanity are reflected on them through the bad environment, becomes helpless and suffering.
In addition to the large-scale pictures and the eighteen-forbidden plot, some specific era settings are also the reason why this movie is niche. There is such a dialogue in the film of
. Wu Hongyan’s neighbors want to discuss with Wu Shang to drive away the pick-up girl who rents next door.
And what she said to Wu Hongyan was: "If you agree, I will call the police." Why does
want Wu Hongyan to agree? Her answer was: "You belong to the court and I am the masses. WhenOf course you have to listen to the government. "
human nature is still good. For the general public, especially the weak, may lack equal communication and humanistic care.
men and women are not talkative people, but fortunately, they have limited expressions and true feelings. It was revealed to each other,
at this point, the two of them should be considered lucky, because the sympathy under the same circumstances in any era is rare and precious.
is also in our era, to be able to boldly love.
