Trivia
Miramax purchased the U.S. distribution rights to the film, but never release it. According to the Transnational China and the Chinese Diaspora on Global Screens, 1989-1997, "when they did their homework they realized that by spending so much on advertising they will end up in the red. That film will never see the light of day."

Toast to the heroine!

I was very impressed by a woman who is the heroine in this movie. She is very strong and brave, though she is always put in difficult situations to have to take care her father in law, who seized with Alzheimer's desease. At first she was treated badly by him in everyday life, but finally he seemes to trust deeply her rather than his own relatives. I think, but for her support to the family,there would have only been collapse in the family. Anyway this movie is one of my most favorite ones.
