This play tells a love story of old Shanghai in 1930s. Gu, played by, is a college graduate. As soon as she arrived at the office of a factory, she was attracted by her colleague Shen's handsomeness. They fell in love and then fell in love. However, based on the time and social environment at that time, their original plain love became secretive and sinister. Carina Lau plays Gu Manlu, Gu's elder sister, a dancer who has to start her own life to support her family, but her family doesn't understand her and thinks she is a disgrace to the family. As her face flew by, the old Gu Man Road began to look for something to rely on.
Rulu believes that everyone is familiar. Princess Hua in Harem left a deep impression on the audience, and the image in the play also aroused heated discussion. The green and fat figure makes Rulu look new and strong in the camera, which is even more out of place with Joseph Cheng. Carina Lau, who is in her fifties, plays a young girl with a ponytail. The age gap is really big. Although Carina Lau is well maintained, age is really a big problem. Because of Rulu's figure and Carina Lau's age, this drama was criticized by many netizens in the early stage.
Half-Life Destiny is Zhang Ailing's first complete novel, originally named Eighteen Springs, which was completed at 195 1. Later, during Zhang Ailing's visit to the United States, she rewrote it, deleted the slightly political ending and renamed it The Fate of Half-Life. The remake of A Half-Life Destiny starring Rulu, Carina Lau and others is indeed far from the original novel in terms of characterization, but it also jumps out of the theme of Evil Descent. The new version of Half-Life has more flavor of Qiong Yao's drama. No matter from the plot or performance, The Origin of Love is more suitable for the name of this play.
