For viewers like me, hilarity is often the first principle in choosing a movie, and gateway is a close second.
The movie is relatively dull, and the dialect in the play bothered me no end.
But when this tape came along, I decided to finish the movie.

The song "Farewell" and this tape run through the whole movie, appearing four times in the movie.
The first time it appears is in a work scene between Chen Sheng and the old doctor Guanglian, with Lee Tai Cheung singing as a backdrop, and then the female doctor turns off the intermittent tape recorder and talks about her old lover Lam Loves, who gave her this tape.
The second time it appears is when Chen Sheng has a cupping at the old doctor's house and decides to go to Zhenyuan to look for Wei Wei. The old doctor's tape recorder is repaired, and at that moment the female part of "Farewell" is playing on the machine. The old doctor gives Chen Sheng the photo, shirt and tape left behind by Lin's lover, hoping that Chen Sheng will take these things to Lin's lover on his way to Zhenyuan.

The final appearance is at the end of the movie, on a black screen, with "Farewell" finally playing.
Every appearance of "Farewell" in the movie is a parting.
Farewell, in fact, is the main theme of this movie.
To borrow three lines from "Farewell" to close:
"After a voyage that once sailed in the same direction, what's yours is yours and what's mine is mine."
"After a voyage that once sailed in the same direction, what was is what was, and what will be is what will be."
"Each is twisted, each is lonely."

I'm drunk, my love
In the eyes of your lamplight
How much I want to be in your eyes.
I would like to fall asleep like this
Tears flow into my dreams and I wake up not remembering
After a voyage in the same direction
Yours is yours and mine is mine
Please listen to me, please lean on me
Don't be afraid of the silence of the moment
One more glance, one more glimpse of old age
One more smile, one more laugh, and then I'm gone
I am drunk, my love.
After a voyage in the same direction
Wu ~ each lonely
The original return to the original and the future return to the future
La ......
Each one of us is lonely
The original is the original, and the future is the future
