Director Statement

Young people all over China face pressure to marry and start families early, but the problem is even more acute for gay men and lesbians, given conservative attitudes towards homosexuality.Many homosexuals because of various pressures get forced into marriages of convenience with straight people, or even real marriages. This sort of marriage situation is a form of disloyalty, for many gay people the great institution of marriage has really turned into love’s graveyard.This film is not meant as criticism of gay people who marry straight people, I just want to encourage gay people to treasure themselves, to live the lives they want, to be who they truly are,to love whom they please and to marry whom they love.

这部电影并不是为了打击那些进入异性婚姻的同性恋人群，我只是想鼓励同性恋人士珍爱自己，过自己想要的生活，活出真真正正的自己。
