Life Bird

In the golden light and tropical atmosphere of the Burmese pagoda, the girl Minming and the young boy Jialing are childhood sweethearts, and their love is secretly growing. However, fate is like a cage: she is forced to inherit the family troupe, but his father hopes to become a monk. The barriers of reality, the family's magic, and the pull of faith failed to cut off the spiritual ties between the two. A dreamlike epiphany allows Minming to glimpse the metaphor of the "life bird" - love in the world is like dew and lightning, and reincarnation is full of false persistence. She is determined to escape from the suffering of the world, but Jialing is willing to accompany her in life and death. On a moonlit night by the green lake, they walked into the water hand in hand, rushing to the starting point of bliss with the end of their lives... Xu Dishan uses poetic touches to weave a love tragedy that combines Buddhist philosophy and Nanyang style, exploring the eternal propositions of love and faith, disillusionment and liberation. This is not only the end of a youthful love song, but also a questioning of the essence of life.
