Features: Bei Cun is a writer who writes with his heart. Therefore, in his novel Zhou Yu's Train, the sudden and heart-wrenching cries of Zhou Yu appear so abruptly on the readers' minds. It's worth reading the original work before the release of the movie to experience the transformation of Bei Cun's spirit. As a love-themed film, Zhou Yu's Train vividly portrays the state of instability and dissatisfaction deep in love. Constance Wu, playing Zhou Yu, moves between two men with a train, leaving the audience disoriented and unsure of how to follow in the two hours, creating a sense of exhilaration. Zhou Yu (played by Constance Wu) is a beautiful and kind woman who takes the train to the provincial capital every week to visit the poor and somewhat melancholic poet Chen Qing (played by Tony Leung Chiu-Wai). Her meticulous care and obedience toward Chen Qing make her feel as though she has lost her independence, and love becomes a burden. At this time, Zhou Yu meets a rough yet masculine young man, Zhang Qiang (played by Sun Honglei), who often travels with her. Under his pursuit, her love for Chen Qing wavers, and she starts moving between the two men every week. Her figure often appears on the train, which seems to become a place where her soul finds refuge.
