The Two of Us

The emotional journeys of a widow and the man her husband loved. Kind, handsome and talented, Da Wei found success at a young age as an architect and built a happy marriage with Mei Xiu. In the eyes of outsiders, they are the perfect couple. After going through a near-death experience, Da Wei begins to fear that his life will end in a lie and finally chooses to confront his true self. He meets and falls in love with Guan Jie, and the two secretly carry on a relationship for a decade until his death. After Da Wei passes away, Mei Xiu finds that he left behind a wish list for her. The wish list leads her onto a meaningful trip around the city she calls home, and along the way, she encounters and befriends Guan Jie.

Directed by Li Ding, The Two of Us leans on a strong ensemble — Morning Chang, Phoenix Chang, Ming Dao — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2015.
