Valutazioni e recensioni

A very tragic and beautiful love story written in1925 when the cholera epidemic was rampant in China. A must see movie if only for a good history lesson. One of my favorite movies and I am definitely a huge movie buff!

The end was sad and happy. So cute how she learned to love him. Hated the part about the affair. But overall the movie was great.

I cried and it was a heartfelt story. Even his gaze to her shows overwhelming love and admiration. A beautiful masterpiece.
