English name：The Case Broadcast time：2007 Starring：王宏伟、伍宇娟、王丝菲 director：王分 Introduction From young actress-turned-director Wang Fen（王分 Wáng Fēn） comes this offbeat tale of intrigue and suspense, set in Lijiang（丽江 Lìjiāng）. Anyone who has experienced the tourist hell of this UNESCO-listed town may be surprised to see it quiet, atmospheric and free of hordes of people. Wang uses the old streets to lend a sense of claustrophobia to her tale. A middle-aged couple run a guesthouse by the river, and one day the husband, Dashang (Wu Gang), spots a case floating by. Rather than the treasures he had hoped to find, the case contains body parts. As Dashang puzzles over how to dispose of his grisly find, an attractive young couple show up at the guesthouse, prompting feelings of longing, desire and suspicion.

The film has a dreamlike quality, while also portraying the psychological world of a middle-aged man in contemporary China. But not everyone will enjoy the strange blend of comedy and suspense, the characters engaged in farcical goings-on while living in a mysterious and…

The Founding of a Republic(建国大业Jiànguó Dàyè ) The Founding of a Republic(建国大业Jiànguó Dàyè ) is a 2009 Chinese historical film commissioned by China's film regulator and made by the state-owned China Film Group to mark the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.

The film retells the tale of the Communist ascendancy and triumph, and has a star-studded cast including Andy Lau, Ge You, Hu Jun, Leon Lai, Zhang Ziyi, Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Zhao Wei, and directors…

English name：Teeth of love Broadcast time：August 24, 2007 Starring：颜丙燕、李洪涛、李乃文、李依馨、迟佳（Keanu） director：庄宇新 Introduction Set in China in the '70s and '80s, Teeth of Love tells the tale of three painful romances in the life of Qian Yehong（钱叶红 Qián Yèhóng） (played by Yan Bingyan), as a young woman and in middle age. And while the film is all about love – unlike most films set in this era, which usually focus on how China was affected socially – director Zhuang Yuxin's（庄宇新 Zhuāng Yǔxīn） take is a particularly pessimistic one: His characters are forever suffering. There are female and male protagonists – all tortured by love. The film begins in Beijing in 1977, the year after the "cultural revolution" ended. At school, Qian leads a gang of girls and behaves like a boy, fighting and bullying classmates. She doesn't seem to be aware that she's a girl; when a boy writes her a love letter, she insults him in public, which leads to tragic consequences. Years later, we meet a Qian who has been forced to leave her lover – a married man. Yet when Qian is finally reunited with her own husband after years of separation, she finds that she has become accustomed to living…

A very important clue in Ip Man is the fights between Ip Man and the Japanese invaders. In the film, plots like Ip Man alone defeated ten Japanese martial artists from a martial club and he beat General Miura despite his personal safety would definitely stir up the patriotism of the general audience. Heart-stirring plots in films like Fist of Legend, Fearless (Huo Yuanjia) etc have also reflected in Ip Man.Though Donnie Yen had never practiced Wing Chun Kuen before, his understanding to it was really amazing. Trained by Sammo Hung, Donnie Yen has presented on the big screen the power of Wing Chun Kuen with his swift, fierce…
