But Always ( 一生一世)

On Tuesday, September 16, 2014, I went to see the movie But Always (一生一世).  This is a movie featuring Chinese actors Yuanyuan Gao and Nicolas Tse.

The movie is about two friends, who live in Beijing in the 1970s that meet at school.  As years progress, they get to know each other, only to have it cut short as Zhao Yongyuan (the boy who is later played by Nicolas Tse) being whisked off to live with his uncle in Guangdong, since his grandfather passed away.  Zhao Yongyuan meets An Ran years later, when he is back in Beijing to help his uncle with a business.  We learn at that point that An Ran has decided to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a doctor.

What follows next is a story of love through time between these two.  What happens?  Well, you'll have to watch to find out.  But, I will say that much time is spent in New York as the film's storyline is developing.
