This film stars the renowned actress Hu Die, who plays the roles of Daba and Erbao, two sisters with vastly different backgrounds and personalities. Hu Die's performance of these characters is brilliant and deeply moving, making it one of the most successful works in her film career.
The poster features a black background, conveying a solemn and sturdy atmosphere. The smudging of the ink resembles dark clouds in the sky, creating a sense of oppression to reflect the stifling social mood at the time. In the foreground, Hu Die's portrait is elegantly and gracefully presented. The faint white oil paint surrounding her is layered and, enriching the visual effect while highlighting the protagonists' stunning appearance. The simple composition and bold use of color deliver a strong visual impact, easily capturing the audience's attention and achieving the best promotional effect. P3
