Director's Note
 

Life is impermanent and impermanence is constant. Life is one moment after another. There are always a few moments in this world that can keep us. Xu Lingling's courage to face her fate comes precisely from those pains in her life. Through reading her attitude towards her existence, we can feel how a beautiful life strives to ignite a small flame of hope in the midst of the cruel whirlwind of fate.
