Shu Qi and Ye Liu in Mei li ren sheng (2011)

Review by kmhlbeavis

Mei li ren sheng

8/10

Kind of similar to a beautiful mind but also different .

The story starts with Shu Qi as a real estate worker I guess as the translation was not quite clear trying to make it in Beijing on her own. She has difficulities getting what she wants and gets duped and dumped for her partner who is younger by the male character and also shorted of her fair share according to what I understood. She has a cop that falls in love with her and is her shoulder to cry on and tries to help her anyway he can for her to achieve what she wanted when she came to Beijing in the first place. She then leaves and he gets let go of the police force for doing her a favor which was against policy. He also finds out that he has a form of dementia. Even through all of this he promises his younger brothers fiances mother that he would watch over both of them. That is how kind hearted he is. After some time has passed The Shu Qi character finds a piece of paper and scribles some black pencil on it to reveal a message. That's when she sets out to go back to Beijing to find him only to see that he has moved. The blind man tells her what he is going through and asks her if she can love him even though he may wind up forgetting who she is. As you probably figured out she goes to live with him and eventually they get married and then he sustains an injury while chasing a thief and she is crying for him not to die. The ending is you probably know is a Happy one. I always find Shu Qi in these roles of victim or getting killed with the exception of the gangsters daughter. I think that she should play a different role in the future, otherwise she will get typecast for this type of role forever.
