Creative background:

There are many subtitles in Love with Hawthorn Trees. Zhang Yimou explained that before the film started shooting, the words "I will wait for you all my life" in the book were defined as subtitles at the end of the film, so the previous subtitles were also regarded as an echo. In addition, because there are many deleted contents, subtitles are needed to explain the plot. Zhang Yimou said that he didn't like making movies for too long.
