"Say Goodbye Slowly

创作阐述

On top of the patchwork of real experiences is the romance they wrote. The movie is more condensed than life, the story is braver than the experience; the bravery we often fall short of the last breath, I hope they have it. Not frustratingly desperate, mostly bright; not obscure, smooth viewing; warm and healing, comforting parting. It's "Say Goodbye Slowly" from Hope.

故事大纲

Their mother, Luo Hong, is suddenly stricken with a terminal illness, which throws the Qu family's otherwise uneventful life into turmoil. The Qu family is determined to hide the illness from their mother; their stepfather, Qu Zhiqian, who is a seafarer, insists on telling Luo Hong; and their sister, Qu Shanshan, who is rational and objective, always hides her thoughts in her heart.

How to choose and what to do, the Qu family is going to walk out of a road that belongs to them only and say goodbye slowly. ......
