Director's Statement

We live in our own world. We take it for granted. But if we go a bit further, or look around at our folks. We can’t forget there are so many things in our life. We don’t need to describe everything very clearly. Just like this movie, there are many causes and results. You don’t need to tell everything. We are familiar with the people. These are all in our era. Our era’s stories．If we have the passion we can understand. If we can walk out of our small world and look at other people’s life. We can understand. Or if we once had such life that we are pretending to forget. When we are alone, we have courage, a kind of ability to face it, and we can understand. Maybe sometimes we can’t face such life or such a movie. It is because of our whole generation’s coward.
