The film is about a young man and a group friends connecting at university. The protagonist has fallen in love with one of his friends, a man, but the feelings don't seem to be reciprocated; a love triangle, and even a four-way love ensues. There are truly some genuine moments that express the deepest realities of LGBTQ people in this film, one example a scene on the roof unveiling the truth (I almost cried it was so real). This is a terrible story,  but a pretty good film none-the-less. The ending of this story, alas, is not a happy one. Essentially, our main character succumbs to the inner battle: man vs self, and hides in the depths of the quintessential "closet." We are left with an unsatisfying end, and possibly a sad truth that LBGTQ's in China or in the far East, and around the world face.

CHARACTER:
In this mobie seems that the characters are new to the industry. The story does not need any kind of heavy drama so for me the acting skills is quite good.

MUSIC:
I was not able to observed the music in the movie maybe because there is no scene which requires a dramatic kind of background music.

PLOT/STORYLINE:
This area made me love the movie. I like how the story goes though I admit that it was not the first I heard such plot or story. The boy has a long time cruch to the man who saced him a long time ago. Maybe he was aware of the man's whereabouts or maybe the man was the reason why he went on that university. I just want to see more scenes with them together. I love the lesson that this movie wanted to show also, that when you feel like you don't have any reasons to live don't lose hope because somewhere out there somebody needs your presence.
