I saw this movie in Cantonese ten years ago and in English last night. In a nutshell, the movie is about a young girl dying, losing and gaining hope, and finding love. The movie is well made and all the main actors and supporting actors render a very good performance, including Wai Man Chen who was only 22 years old when the film was made and has been criticized for giving an unappealing performance. I am still confused with some of the images filmed in Scotland. Nevertheless, the scenes show the skills of the cinematographer and somewhat explain the character of the overseas Chinese and Lam's decision to love, return home, and fight her illness. Although Lam dies at the end, the director in the last scene magically turns the film around into a celebration of life.
