Features: The person who opens this book may love The Purple Rose of Cairo, may love reading Anni, may love listening to Huang Lei and Faye Wong, or may have once let their mood linger in the words of Left Shadow, Right Years. Perhaps, they are just a simple child who has sung, laughed, and cried on the steps of growing up. In this unsatisfactory world, movies are a good place to go. Life is like a cassette tape, and movies are like CDs. Even if the content is the same, movies can surpass life. Because every inch of irrevocable and non-jumpable time in life can be jumped or revoked in movies. In movies, one can go forward unhesitatingly, live, die, love, and hate. In life, one may only be able to choose to live in panic, in mediocrity, and in idleness. Movies can be a form of persistence, but life can only be a form of sustenance.
