Direct translation of the Chinese title to English is “That Person, That Mountain and That Dog”. This movie is so beautifully make. It must be in the Spring or Summer. So much green field. Make me want to go to the mountain.

I first come to this movie after watching Liu Ye other movies such as Lan, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, City of Life and Death and A Beautiful Life. Liu Ye was so young and attractive. That innocent pure smile and look would melt many hearts.

I have seen a Scandinavian and Ireland version of Postman deliver mail in a harsh winter and bicycle in difficult countryside. This movie is more about how the father tough the son the value of caring for people in the mountain. Not sure deliver the mail, but to connect with them. In the movie showed that there were time where the cars and road available, but the father insisted that they should continue walk the narrow path. The tradition continue. Many hard work, painful path and dangerous routes, but the father convinced the son that all the pain and sweat were worth it considered it touches human hearts.

The dog 老二, to me is the main charm of the movie. Smart, royal, cute and strong. Everyone love him. He did his job, he lead, he protect, he calls, he is so lovely.

All in all. A must watch old movie. Nowadays, with internet, people probably don’t write paper letter anymore. The communication happen instantly. Miss the good old day with holding the valuable letters…
