An Encounter to Remember

A Chinese film that caught me by surprise – so emotionally packed while dealing with a difficult subject of love between mentally challenged people… and the product of that love! All this was told through a story of an ultrasound technician named Cao Luyi (Jin), who finds himself at a turning point in his life. After being introduced by a friend, he accepts a position at a sanatorium. There, he meets carer Li Wenjing, a bunch of lovable people, and the infatuated Liu Yingjun (Qiu Ze) and Wu Yanzi (Zhang). From their first meetings to their deepest bonds, they all find a place and a sense of belonging. Screenwriter Qiu Yan and director Ha Zhichao expressed their opinion and the behind-the-scenes creative process with the following words: "There are various people with various life experiences in this story, and how they face life is the most important thing" .
