==Spoiler Alert===

Good and bad things will happen in life. If I were under 20 years old, I may have cried my eyes out. Now, I'm nearly 50 years old, I had a fair share of hardships and I'm still battling my illness as well as looking after my elderly parents. This type of film make me feel that even if you're grief stricken and heart broken, you'll eventually become hungry and wanting to go to sleep. Yes, life goes on.

Despite the depressing end, I felt that we need to enjoy the present and try to live fully. Those historical incidents remind us that our happiness is built on efforts and sufferings of many victims and I'm truly grateful that we live in more free society. The viewers will appreciate that the camera beautifully captured the dynamic and unique Chinese landscape. Two years ago, I traveled through Yunnan Province and the film brought me back many good memories.
