All true language is incomprehensible,
like the chatter of a beggar's teeth.

Under The Hawthorn Tree



“我不能等你一年零一个月了,我也不能等你到二十五岁了,但是我会等你一辈子。”


“我不能等你一年零一個月了,我也不能等你到二十五歲了,但是我會等你一輩子。”


This was the line that first moved Zhang Yimou. You need to watch the film before you can understand it.


"Under The Hawthorn Tree" is the latest film directed by Zhang. The film was based on a true love story during the Cultural Revolution in China.


I was moved by the film,


more than once.
