Ding Yaping, director of the Film and TV School of China Art Academy, said the work is similar to a genre widely popular in Japan and South Korea, but has not been made by Chinese directors for over a decade. "Zhang`s movie is the kind of devoted romance that will be engraved on one`s bones," he said after seeing the film.
中國藝術研究院電影電視藝術研究所所長丁亞平說類似體裁的電影在日本和韓國頗為盛行,但中國十多年來沒有導演涉足此類影片。看過這部電影,他評論到,“張藝謀的電影所傳達的是那種令人刻骨銘心的純真愛情。”
