5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, sad, classic love story!, August 27, 2002

I have just recently became a fan of Hong Kong movies. I picked this one up because I love Leon Lai's movies. This is a tragic love story that involves college sweethearts who go their seperate ways only to meet again almost 20 years later. Although both are married with children, you cannot help but want them to be together. And, as their children put the pieces together, you begin to see them as their own parents. This is a must for those who like classic and sentimental love stories that require a lot of kleenex! You will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must see!, February 6, 2009

I'm a fan of Shu Qi, the woman from the movie Transporter, which is why I bought this movie without even knowing if it was worth it or not. But since I've liked most of her other movies I figured would this one would probably be pretty good too. I wasn't disappointed.

I thought the acting was excellent, and I also enjoyed the selection of music. The story was easy to follow, and not just because you already know the ending.

I don't think enough asian films are given their fair share of credit here in america, which is a shame because this film should be on most peoples list of movies to see, And I'm a guy who doesn't watch many "chick flicks".

This is truly a great love story. A really wonderful story with great acting that touches the heart. It kept me thinking about it for days after i saw it. And I know have a new appreciation for the BROTHERS FOUR and their version of "TRY TO REMEMBER". This is a must see movie.
