A Hong Kong film based on a true story, "Treading Snow and Finding Plums"

Ding Zicong slowly tore off Jia Mei's face, just like tearing off the beautiful appearance of Hong Kong in the eyes of new immigrants.

In 2009, in the face of the behavior of the same table, Jia Mei asked the teacher: "Why did she cut herself with a knife?"

The teacher said, "A lot of things are hard to explain." In 2010, Jia Mei died.

The film is based on a sensational case in Hong Kong in 2008. The director, who is despised by the workers at the bottom of society and the new immigrant girls who are difficult to integrate into Hong Kong society, clearly focuses on the commonalities of the class, trying to jump out of the category of curiosity and pursue a deeper social meaning. But apart from the vague motives and the controversy of whitewashing, even as an independent literary and artistic work, it is not outstanding, or perhaps the Academy Awards have made it subject to more scrutiny from the public.

The film uses a multi-line parallel approach to advance ideas and a narrative editing method of cross-flashbacks. Officer Zang seems to be a tool person who connects scattered story lines, resulting in an excessively thin character image. The similarity between Jia Mei and Ding Zicong lies only in the sense of loneliness that wanders on the edge of society, which makes the theme difficult to establish, and the shift in the center of gravity of overemphasizing "empathy" deprives some of the rationality of logic and easily makes the audience feel divided.

But I was moved by the beauty at the end of the film. She sang "Dolls See the World", and she had just set foot on the land of Hong Kong, young and full of hope. Unfortunately, Hong Kong has not only the dazzling Victoria Harbour, but also the hot public housing.

"Room with a view" No view. Through the rusty fence, there are only all kinds of people, and the mottled gray cement floor is the cracks smashed by reality.
