Partial closure--Fireworks series--

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bQHrsEYo34

Realistic post-earthquake setting, great lighting,photography, tonal "Chinese" sound track,sounds a bit like Tang Dun, Symphony 97,

color palette, details (like her bob hairstyle in high school) lighter etc

Characeter development--just perfect--even secondary and tertiary characters.

Song Yan

Dr. Xu

Pi Pi

Jan Yiang

The one who had to retire --earlier

Old army buddy.

Each character gets a highlight as in Tale of Two Cities or a jazz concert.

Wish to give it 5 out of 5 stars.
