“Now, I couldn’t be happier. I felt lucky from the moment when I encountered Director Kim. I am expecting we will share each other’s feelings in movies.”
“Like Xiao Hong in the movie, growing up, I was influenced by my grandfather. I was impish when I was young. I loved going wherever I felt like going. I did whatever I loved to do.”
“Xiao Hong lived through a period of political turmoil in modern Chinese history. I am lucky that I was born and now live in the peaceful times.”
“I dare to say that I am the happiest person in the world because I have found my soul mate, as well as now Ann Hui, one of the most prominent and prolific film directors in the world, is sitting next to me and the media pay their attention to me.”
