    This is a decent story about a teacher and student relationship. Exceptional acting by Karena Lam who plays the student character brilliantly. Would recommend!

    I think it is a pretty good movie. Show the struggle of the men in their 40s.

    Beautiful poems sprinkled throughout add a soft and intimate edge to this well acted story of a modern Chinese couple.
