Features: "We Can't Help It with Love" is a collection of dialogues from the "Dialogue" column of China's pure literature magazine "Harvest." It includes twelve recorded conversations over a period of two years—Yan Tiexing, paralyzed at the age of 21, expresses gratitude for the life-and-death insights his disability has brought him; Lin Bai, who decides to participate in online dating, is particularly eager to write a long erotic novel; Zhu Degong, who has always drawn people, has never liked people since childhood; Mr. He Youzhi, an eighty-year-old cartoonist, loves to stroll the streets and pick out the best watches from antique shops; Shu Ting, already a "wolf grandmother," recalls Gu Cheng's poverty and helplessness in his youth; Jiang Wen insists on filming only when he can smell the essence of the scene.
