第一集无法被超越直到最后一场雨把所有一切串联起来一个生动的城市出现了活生生的人们以各种形式相爱狠狠被治愈了"in every city every small town, there's a heart waiting to be taken down, try it on, try it out."
Not bad, surprisingly. The Farewell offers a window through which westerners could see and appreciate common Chinese beliefs and values manifested naturally in people's daily life and interactions. It does a good job to present modern China and its ecosystem on a micro-level, i.e. family, without sugarcoating or demonising it. I understand why some Chinese audience may argue that the view of culture differences (expressed explicitly through conversations) is superficial, but I think this superficiality actually renders it particularly true, because that very view is held by actual people - it is not imagined, and it is not profound for a purpose.
