Lian hua lou (2023)

Rich in imagination, a great visual feast.

Most martial arts always talk about how a person with extraordinary talent/kindness grows into a generation of heroes. However, "Lotus casebook" is quite the opposite. It tells how a person who once stood at the top, suffered drastic changes, sliding from the summit to be an ordinary person, and even lost everything. A story about how to let it go, how to live a real life. Li Lianhua's reconciliation with the world and with himself is the most touching part of the this story.

Lilianhua's martial arts moves are gorgeous and flexible, rich in imagination, it is a great visual feast.

Li lianhua's change represents a person's true maturity and understanding. Li lianhua understands the world, that he is only a participant after all, not the master; he understands how to examine the success and failure of the life, the princely hegemony, from the perspective of an ordinary person; He understood that, people have to accept that no matter how dazzling we were, we are just an ordinary one among all living beings.
