In 1997, on a night illuminated by fireworks, Shing Choi-shun thought she held the key to eternal happiness. She was the quintessential Hong Kong career woman, thriving in her job, with a loving family. It was as if all the storms of life were blocked outside her office's floor-to-ceiling windows. But the tides of history never announce themselves, and the financial crisis, a husband's accident, and the SARS epidemic, the pressures that could destroy anyone, came one after another in a decade, tearing her life apart. When she lost everything, even her beloved son disappeared at the end of the quarantine ward, this former "darling of heaven" made a decision that surprised everyone.

The most ruthless aspect of this film is that it dares to tear open the bloody reality for you to see, and then gently applies a colorful bandage to the wound. Director Barbara Wong uses an almost cruel reality to record the ups and downs of a woman in a decade of turmoil. The process of Gigi Leung's eyes extinguishing and reigniting in the scene where she loses her son is simply heartbreaking, completely subverting her previous sweet idol image. The film cleverly stitches together individual destinies with the pulse of the era. The historical nodes we've all experienced have become catalysts for the protagonist's growth. Fiona Sit's agility and Gigi Leung's composure create a contrast with strong tension; one represents the reckless hope, the other represents the resilience of being tempered by a hundred refinements. This is not just a women's inspirational film, but more like a shot in the arm for all those in the trough, telling us that even if life crumples us into a pile of waste paper, as long as the breath in our hearts is not scattered, we can still flatten ourselves and write the most exciting second half. Okay, 【电影介绍】在1997年那个烟火灿烂的夜晚,成在信以为自己握住的是通往永恒幸福的入场券。她是典型的香港女强人,职场顺遂,家庭美满,仿佛生活所有的风浪都被挡在写字楼的落地窗外。然而,时代的巨浪从不打招呼,金融风暴、丈夫意外、非典疫情,这些足以摧毁任何人的重压,在短短十年间接踵而至,将她的生活撕扯得粉碎。当她失去了一切,甚至连最疼爱的儿子也消失在隔离病房的尽头时,这位曾经的天之娇女,竟然做出了一个让所有人都意想不到的决定。 她并没有在废墟中枯萎,而是拉上了同样在情场和职场撞得头破血流的小助手宋晓彤,还有几个看似不靠谱的伙伴,在最不景气的年份里,赤手空拳地想要闯出一片天。这不仅仅是一场关于生存的博弈,更是几个不同性格的女性在时代洪流中寻找自我价值的孤注一掷。她们在充满汗水和泪水的创业路上,能否抵挡住现实的再一次重击,找回属于女人最本色的光芒? 【观影点评】这部片子最狠的地方,在于它敢把血淋淋的现实撕开了给你看,却又在伤口上温柔地贴上一枚彩色胶布。导演黄真真用一种近乎残酷的真实,记录了一个女人在十年动荡中的跌宕起伏。梁咏琪在那场失去儿子的戏份里,眼神中的光熄灭又重燃的过程,简直让人心碎,完全颠覆了她以往的玉女形象,演出了那种被生活反复揉搓却始终不肯服输的韧劲。 电影巧妙地将个人命运与大时代的脉搏缝合在一起,那些我们共同经历过的历史节点,都成了主角成长的催化剂。薛凯琪的灵动与梁咏琪的沉稳形成了极具张力的对比,一个代表着横冲直撞的希望,一个代表着百炼成钢的坚韧。这不只是一部女性励志片,它更像是一剂给所有身处低谷者的强心针,告诉我们:哪怕生活把我们揉成一团废纸,只要心里的那口气不散,我们依然能把自己摊平,写出最精彩的下半场。
