Xu Guanghan was popular all over the Internet for playing the sunny handsome and infatuated Li Ziwei. But back in 2018, he played a similar role, and at that time, he didn't get much attention.
This role is Wen Tangsheng in "Hijira", he is sunny and handsome, loves to play basketball, can play skateboarding, has good grades, is careful and considerate, the key is that he has always loved only one person, and he is not cold to other people at all! Salty and sweet, milky and wolf, cool and warm and affectionate, this kind of persona is simply the ideal type!
Moreover, he did not hesitate to change from heterosexual to homosexual for the sake of the person he loved. This sentence may seem puzzling, but it is an important theme of the film.
The heroine is called Wanting, is an intersex person, and later because of serious uterine lesions, she had to undergo sex reassignment surgery and became a man. Tang Sheng went through a difficult mental journey and finally chose to accept Wanting. This acceptance is not superficial acceptance, but complete acceptance from the psychological to the physical.
Why put physiology in the back? Because the film focuses on Tang Sheng's psychological obstacles when he tries to have sex with Wanting, who has become a man. What's touching about this cross-gender affection is that because I love you, I can change myself, no matter how much that change comes at.

02. Tang Sheng's love
The title of the movie is very interesting, called "Hijra". Wikipedia's explanation of Hijra goes like this:
"In South Asia, Hijra (Urdu: ہجڑا, English: Hijra) is generally considered a member of the third sex – neither a man nor a woman. The vast majority of Hijra are biologically male or intersex, but there are also some biologically female Hijras (commonly known as Hijras). ”
Third sex, intersex people. This is a special group, and the subject matter of this film is very novel and difficult. But Taiwanese cinema has the ability to make a potentially uncomfortable event incredibly fresh.
But in fact, the essence of the movie is still a pure love story between boys and girls. Although Wanting later became a physically male, she was still psychologically female. Therefore, the film's discussion of the topic of intersex people is not too deep, and it still wants to express the eternal theme of human beings - love.
"I am lonely and courageous, and I only spend my life in one place." Tang Sheng's love is a careful confession, an endless wait, a desperate choice.

Embarrassed to look at Wanting on the bus, she could only secretly smirk. Obviously I want to look at each other a few times, obviously I want to talk to each other more, but in front of the people I like, I am really shy and nervous.
After being together, we can finally look at Wanting generously. The gaze has been closely following Wanting.
Pure love is so precious precisely because it is rare. Falling in love as a student is the closest to this state, and both people are so shy that even hugging will feel like a big step.

Wanting went abroad for surgery but did not tell Tang Sheng. Although Tang Sheng had suffered a great blow, he still couldn't let go of Wanting. From high school to college, he was reluctant to try to like other girls. As He Yichen said, "I don't want to settle down." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > sincerely understood</h1>
Wanting finally returned. When he learned of What happened to Wanting, he cried and said, "It's very hard." ”
Regardless of the strange eyes of others. Just be with her.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > struggling bitterly</h1>
Deep down, when he was preparing to have a relationship with Wanting, he suddenly realized that Wanting was already a male physiologically. At this point, love and sex are in conflict with him.
He was desperate to overcome this psychological barrier, but he did not know how to be good, so he could only struggle bitterly.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > changed firmly</h1>
Finally, he gently kissed the scar left by Wanting's surgery. At this moment, he completely accepted Wanting.
Tang Sheng is a person who can hardly exist in real life, he is too beautiful. "Even if the road ahead is chaotic, walking with him is considered human." He embraces and accepts everything about Wanting, and he symbolizes the best love and kindness that the world gives to intersex people.

Taiwanese love movies have a unique charm, which can make me say: "This is also too literary, small and fresh." On the one hand, he was moved to cry bitterly.
Literature and small freshness are just a style, and the story is the core of the film. A good story can express the true beauty and pain of youth, and can really touch people's hearts.
Sometimes the story is far from real life, but I am still willing to dream. Away from the rules and interests of the world, quietly enjoy the pure feeling of love.
"My Girlhood": "Later I found out that I liked someone unconsciously, thanks to the car, the moment I grabbed her shoulder, I found for the first time that my heart could beat so fast." ”
"The Blue Gate": "In three years and five years, or even longer and longer, what kind of adults will we become?" Is it a PE teacher, or my mom? Although I can't see myself with my eyes closed, I can see you. ”
"Those Years, the Girl We Chased Together":
"Thank you for liking me."
"I also liked me when I liked you. You will always be the apple in my eyes. ”
