Screenwriter Liang Yazhou is successfully employed and happily married, a seeming paragon of the new urban Chinese professional. Contentment seems assured until he meets Li Xiaodan, a beautiful screen-writing assistant with whom he falls in love. Caught in this romantic triangle, Liang becomes torn between his caring, devoted wife and his passionate, carefree young lover. Feng, director of Be There Be Square and the forthcoming The Bigshot’s Funeral, creates sensitive social commentary as he presents the moral and cultural dichotomy facing the burgeoning middle-class in contemporary China. The film took best picture, best actor, best actress, and best screenwriting awards at the 2000 Cairo International Film Festival.
