The movie is also interspersed with a voice-over of love letters written by a Japanese man to his Taiwanese love interest just after the island's colonial era ended.

Yan Xiaoyan, a movie audience said, "You feel like it's a true story from a small place, although it seems to be quite far away from us. There are very moving and true feelings in it, you laugh with tears."
