I so so so love this movie... The stories of these ladies are so touching... Their laughter, their cries really affected my mood when i watched this movie. Dodo Cheng even won the Best Actress in the Golden Horse Awards, defeated Cherie Chung who was in the nomination list as well. A very very good film that i recommend all of you to watch/rewatch...
