Text | Snow reminiscence
In 2001, a Sino-Korean film "Bai Lan" invited Cecilia Cheung as the heroine. Throughout the film, she has always appeared in the camera, playing a pure and beautiful, chuchu and poor Chinese girl Bai Lan.
"Bai Lan" tells the story of two people who "got married" in order to make a living, who had been husband and wife for a long time but had never met, and the husband saw his wife for the first time but collected the body for her. At the farewell ceremony, the husband learned about the love affair of the most familiar stranger in his wife's only relic, a love letter, and thus bred a belated love.
The movie "Shiraran" is adapted from the short story "Love Letter" created by Japanese writer Jiro Asada, although it is different from the plot of Shunji Iwai's "Love Letter", but it has a pure beauty complex that resonates with it. It tells an incredible emotion, but it is based on a true story. So Jiro Asada wrote the following line on the waist seal of the Love Letter: "The miracle of gentleness that happened to you." ”

Kang Bailan, a Chinese girl who traveled to South Korea alone to look for relatives, came to her aunt after her mother's death, but was told that her aunt's family had moved to Canada for more than a year. Penniless, Bai Lan couldn't even raise money for a visa, so she had to look for a job to make a living.
Li Jiangqi is a 40-year-old gangster who has achieved nothing, he is confused every day, in order to work capital, he sold his account to the gang for 500,000 won.
One for a temporary residence permit, one purely for money, and the two were thus arranged as a couple.
Li Jiangqi did not care about his nominal wife, but Bai Lan was different, she worked extra hard every day, and every tired and tired night in a foreign country, the only thing that could comfort her was the photo on Li Jiangqi's registration form. Bai Lan will confide in Li Jiangqi, in the days of being squeezed by the boss, in every difficult day, this photo has become her only spiritual sustenance.
Because of the language barrier, Bai Lan began to study Korean hard, not only to survive, but also to be able to communicate with Li Jiangqi without obstacles one day.
One day, Bai Lan plucked up the courage to go to Incheon to meet Li Jiangqi, and she rehearsed the first words she should say when she saw him, and she was full of expectations to meet her husband. Bai Lan saw his figure on the glass window of Li Jiangqi's shop as soon as he got out of the car, but before the two people could formally meet, Li Jiangqi was taken away by the police. And between them, there was the only, or even the last, face to face, but it was a sad passing.
Li Jiangqi was finally released, but he was told that his wife had died of illness in the hospital and needed him to collect the body. In order not to expose his marriage, Li Jiangqi had to go to handle the aftermath for Bai Lan.
On the way, Li Jiangqi's friend handed him a letter, and when he unfolded the letterhead, Juanxiu's font came into view, and it turned out to be Bai Lan's handwriting. In her letters, she repeatedly thanked Li Jiangqi for being able to marry herself, and she built a home in her heart. At this time, Li Jiangqi's heart had undergone subtle changes in this strange wife.
When Li Jiangqi rushed to the morgue and saw the thin and pale body of Bai Lan, his heart surged with irrepressible sadness. When Li Jiangqi came to Bailan's residence to collect the relics, he found a diary of Bailan, which recorded Bailan's true heart word by word. Although the two people had never met, they seemed to have known each other for a long time, and this affection was accumulated little by little.
Finally, Li Jiangqi also found a videotape of BaiLan in his home, which was taken when the gang members introduced Bai Lan to him. Bai Lan in the camera stands on the seashore, shyly singing a beautiful song, and her smile is clean and soft, as if it melts the whole spring. Li Jiangqi hated himself, why did he find out so late.
At this moment, the gang boss sent someone to break into Li Jiangqi's home and tightly strangled his neck with a rope. During the fight, the ashes of Bai Lan placed on the table spilled on the ground, and Li Jiangqi finally collapsed in it, and the missed lovers finally embraced together...

Plain as white jade, pure as an orchid, this is the impression given by Kang Bailan. In the face of this complex world, the young brandy is as pure as jade. She is the innocence of the world, but also a symbol of simplicity and kindness.
In order to find a safe job, when Bai Lan went to the agency, even if no one was looking at her, she would still bow repeatedly when she left. After finding a job at the laundromat, she took on all the heavy responsibilities diligently, which made the hostess can't help but admire.
Bai Lan's beauty was amazing, but she never wanted to use this advantage to make money, it can be said that she was pure from the inside out. Although life is not easy, she will shrink in the bathroom and cry bitterly, but she still has a beautiful vision of life.
Knowing that Li Jiangqi and his marriage were just a transaction, Bai Lan still foolishly developed attachment and affection for this husband. Even if Li Jiangqi does not care about herself, she is grateful and loves, and this dedication that does not care has also touched this useless bachelor.
So can Li Jiangqi be worthy of Bai Lan's sincerity? "The same is the end of the world, why should we have known each other when we met", this is probably the resonance of Bai Lan and Li Jiangqi.
As a member of the gang, Li Jiangqi's debut at the same time as him has become a big brother, and he has always been only a little brother, which has a lot to do with his personality. Becoming a small is involuntary, and every time he collects protection fees, he even has to be bullied by the other party, because he has a kind heart and is always unwilling to bully others. It is precisely because of Li Jiangqi's hidden character that he will be touched by Bai Lan to the softest corner of his heart.
Pure girl and greasy uncle, it seems that the most incompatible combination, but because they are the unfortunate people at the bottom, they will feel sorry for each other after feeling each other's kindness. Bai Lan cherished Li Jiangqi's rescue, and Li Jiangqi also received Bai Lan's salvation at the same time.

Gorky said: "Marriage is the spiritual union of two people, the purpose of which is to overcome all the difficulties and hardships of the world together. Obviously, in Bai Lan's heart, Li Jiangqi is such a spiritual lover. This titular husband accompanied her through all the difficult moments of her life, and he stood like a monument in her heart, shielding this thin body from the wind and rain.
Although the beautiful skin bag is attractive, what really shakes Li Jiangqi's heart is Bai Lan's full of innocence and trust.
The overall tone of Cecilia Cheung's version of "Bai Lan" and the original "Love Letter" is the same, which is a slow narration of an ordinary story, as if we were walking on the beach, and unconsciously blown by the wind to the sand and lost our eyes.
Of course, while seeing the beautiful love, we also see the difficulty of a girl living in a foreign country. In the original work, Kang Bailan had to be a tavern reception in order to live, and in the face of various drunkards, he had to imagine them as lovers, so that he could survive every difficult day.
This can't help but be reminiscent of the film "Mengjia", which won the Taiwan Academy Award, in which Xiao Ning was forced to make a living and fell into the dust at a young age. In her numb pick-ups every day, she is full of hope for life because she has met small mosquitoes.
In feelings, women are often accustomed to fantasies because they love someone, and this vain expectation seems to become an invisible force, and the suffering and storms in life become soft.
What is rare is that there is always one person in this world who will understand this expectation, unfortunately, it came a little late. Just like the white orchid, smelling for a long time, the faint fragrance is pervasive, and it is too late to reach out and pick it.

Words are spirits that have fallen into the mortal world
The soul can only be free in the sea of books
May my words warm you
