Ye Rutang: You're too kind.
Pan Zhichang: But look, I'm a man. It's a man's duty to take care of women. Li Sao is a great poem, precisely because it's centred on women. In my opinion, only lesser poer look down women. That includes Li Bai, he isn't a great poet. But Du Fu is. And so is Qu Yuan. Sorry... I have a trachoma.

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!
