Quotes:
Pan Zhichang: My home was once right behind that apartmen block. It's all gone now.You know that old saying. All things must pass were just shadows on the journey of life. Nothing is really ours in this world. As Su Dongpo put it,we don't even own our own bodies... Can you lend me 300 yuan?
Ye Rutang: No problem. Here you are.

A fantastic Chinese movie, 7 May 2007
8/10
Author: Flying-kitty from Hong Kong

It wasn't all style, however; the plot was really engaging. It followed the life of a old fashion, middle-aged woman, living in Shanghai. Her nephew Kuan-kuan arrives for a visit, then several memorable characters show a real & dramatic life of the aunt. She tried to catch up with times,but she is in vain. After she hits an all-time low and falls down a set of stairs, we know that she has a daughter and husband that she abandoned in Anshan. Director Ann Hui is smart,she makes the film hight-light and attractive.Li Qiang,who is the writer of Peacock,done an excellent work.He will be one of the best Chinese screenplay writer.

The leading actress Sinqi Gaowai's performance is a little disappointing,in comedy senses,she looks uncomfortable and too tight.Chow Yun-Fat is good,his acting is much better than his Hollywood movies.The film is a wise choice for him.Shi Ke and Zhao Wei are amazing!
