Depicting the love & life of college students in 80s, it gives us a rough picture how the society looks at that time and how the youths think and behave, quite different from what we see now in the campus.

It is the only asian movie selected to compete for Golden d'Or in Berlin (柏林国际电影节) in 2006. Here is the link to IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0794374/, as is described there, this movies is about obsessive love.
