The master is so noisy that WuKong wants to kill him.

The classical lines: 1. “曾经有一份真诚的爱情摆在我的面前,但是我没有去珍惜,等到失去了的时候才后悔莫及,尘世间最痛苦的事莫过如此.如果上天可以给我一个机会再来一次的话,我会跟那个女孩子说”我爱你”.如果非要把这份爱加上一个期限,我希望是一万年! ” There had ever been a sincere love in my face, but I didn't take it seriously. I feel bitter regretful until it has been out of my grip. It is the most seriously agony(痛苦) in the earth. If the God give me a chance again, I will tell the girl ---"I love you." If having to set up a deadline before the passion, I hope it works permanent! 2.“我的意中人是个盖世英雄，有一天他会踩着七色的云彩来娶我，我猜中了前头，可是我猜不着这结局……”

XiJuZhiWang This movie is about dream and love. At the beginning of the film, the actor shouts “try hard, struggle” toward the sea. The actor is a amateur(业余的) actor at first ,so he isn’t respected by others. But he is a self-respecting, persistent and kind man. He insists on his dream and believes that he will be a professional actor one day.

The actress is a young and beautiful girl, but she is a dancing girl The actress is a young and beautiful girl, but she is a dancing girl. who is looked down upon. But she still longs for love and respect.

If you want to be famous, you must insist on your dream and pay a lot!

My Impression of ZhouXingChi The first movie of him I have ever seen was TangBoHuDianQiuXiang. To my surprise, he is a serious and introverted man in daily life and work. His success is due to many essential factors: Dream Persistance Daring to try

Thank You!
