If someone can mix poetic and melodrama it is the Chinese. Even in the early 2000s the movie feels classic like an 80s movie but it's so strong and it's a big surprise since in the west was use dark tune and ev camera quality in the early 2000s
Hongmei live a cursed life, day after day she stumble across bad luck. At first she falls inlove with a doctor. But that love is taken away when she get raped and get pregnant. She choose to continue and carry the baby which upset the doctor to leave, will she work alone or will she find another way.
Also how the movie is told is through a dictionary word for word, it's very poetically done, for instance when the word say brick the scene goes to when she try to hit her rapist with a brick. Yes it's a sad movie but poetic done movie and deserves 10/10.
