      @@Neojhunsavor it! My dialect isn’t exactly dead but I think soon there will be fewer people who know it especially as mainland China promotes Mandarin only in schools. I live in the US and it’s preserved in my family but so many of my relatives have married Cantonese speakers that most of their kids only know Cantonese. :(

    This movie touched my heart so realistically and bended my mind in such a provocative way at such a unique and needed time in my life which couldnt be more divine of an intervention for me.
    Ive been so hung up on this one girl for the past few months that I met online who lives in China and Im from the U.S. Everyday it drives me absolutely crazy how much I cant stop thinking about her and all the what ifs. I even told my therapist a few weeks before watching this movie "Maybe in another life yeah, haha, I mean its literally another life so of course anything could happen".
    I needed this closure because this girl has been haunting me to the point its all i think about all the time. I rarely ever talk to her even though i could more if i wanted to. I only say something to her if i think its important enough. All the little connections weve had together are so surreal that my brain keeps replaying them over and over.
    We had one conversation that got pretty deep about ambition similarly to this movie. She said she was probably just going to be normal after i said Id never be normal. I even went on to tell her shes already not normal later after re realizing how absolutely stunning, bubbly, funny, and vulnerable she really is.
    I know ive gotten through to her and influenced her on certain things but shes just not meant for me. Im 26 and its time for me to take life serious and stop with all the wishful thinking. Shes 21 and living her life as much as she can. I have to give her that. After all, im just some white guy she met online lol.
