Sinekatalog’s take
Stanley Kwan's love story follows a wealthy Beijing businessman and a young student across a decade of change. Hu Jun and Liu Ye are tender in a quiet, sensual and bittersweet drama set against 1989 and the new China.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
