Love beneath the gingko
Yu Feihong expresses her inner self in her latest movie, Eternal Beloved, a tragic romance. In addition to the film being her first as a director, Yu plays two roles.
"My philosophy about love is similar to the roles. But my personal life is quiet and not dramatic, so I wanted to express my opinion of an ideal and simple love through a movie," Yu says. "I strongly believe in fate. I am still single and waiting for the right person to come."
The movie centers on a 50-year romance between the dead and the living. Duan Yihong plays A Ming, who promises A Jiu (played by Yu) he will reunite with her under the ginkgo tree after death. He waits for 50 years to meet up with A Jiu, who becomes Xiao Yu (also played by Yu) in her second life.
