I actually don’t think it’s beautiful, but I feel sad.

Moreover, what I see is the ugliness of human nature and the ugliness of the times. When the childish-looking little Douzi was still ignorant of the world, his mother, a prostitute, ruthlessly chopped off the deformed little finger in order to help her child get ahead. This is a portrayal of the life of poor people.

The subsequent training career was even more difficult. ?I am originally a girl, not a boy?? Xiaodouzi, who was force-fed a mouthful of cigarette ash, forcibly changed his gender recognition. After repeated resistance and suppression, he became Cheng Dieyi. She co-starred with her senior brother Duan Xiaolou in "Farewell My Concubine", which was well-known in the capital. It's a pity that the gorgeous opera robes cover up a mess.

Cheng Dieyi's feelings for Duan Xiaolou are hot and affectionate, surging like magma under the ground, but never see the light. ?It was agreed upon for a lifetime, and if one minute, one second, or one hour is missing, it will not count as a lifetime. ?In the second half of the film, Cheng Dieyi basically appeared in full makeup. On and off stage, in and out of the play, may have long been blurred. I am Yu Ji, and you are the overlord. I will accompany you in life and death, and will never leave you.

However, Duan Xiaolou was always Duan Xiaolou, and finally married a woman named Juxian. There is no Overlord, no Yu Ji, only a life of chicken feathers, muddy.

What impressed me most was the episode where Cheng Dieyi was criticized. After being framed by Xiaosi, Duan Xiaolou was taken to the streets. Cheng Dieyi dressed up as Yu Ji and was willing to suffer the humiliation together. However, in order to protect Juxian, Duan Xiaolou bites back and falsely accuses Cheng Dieyi of being a traitor.

No amount of insults can compare to the cruelty of the one you love. In anger, Cheng Dieyi uncovered the scars of Juxian's past as a prostitute. Duan Xiaolou was forced to draw a clear line with Juxian, and Juxian hanged himself.

Until the last scene of the film, when Cheng Dieyi died in the arms of the Overlord as Yu Ji, I did not feel the beauty of this relationship. This is just a cruel life. All the good memories, love and hate have been torn apart by the times and become powerless. And the emotional entanglement between these three people is like a Chinese robe covered with lice, making people sigh.
