THE SKY OF GREEN BIRDS
(QING NIAO DE TIAN KONG)
(continued)

After the suspect in the case of Zi Hue 's husband is arrested, she is not in danger any longer. Wei Wu keeps on getting to and out of Zi Hue 's house as frequently as he did when he was still her bodyguard.

The movie really turns to another milestone when Zi Hue discovers that her husband has an illegitimate son named Le Le with his ex-lover. For the time being, Le Le is living together with his grand father or Zi Hue 's father - in - law while his mother is working away from him as far as America. As not being able to take care of her son, Le Le 's mother must ask Zi Hue 's father - in - law to replace her to look after him. Zi Hue doesn't know what her father - in - law has tried to conceal until he becomes very ill, failing to care for Le Le and finally coming to her for assistance. Once again, the bitter truth inflicts more pain and suffering on Zi Hue but she agrees to help her father - in - law to take care of Le Le while he is being treated in hospital. And from the day Le Le gets to live with her onwards, Zi Hue 's life has gradually changed for the better. It is because she now has someone to look after, to care for, to cook for and more important, to educate. Her life is not so bad as it was during the time she lived in daily great torments of losing husband. However, Zi Hue has also a lot of difficulties teaching and treating Le Le as he just misses his mother at all times and is indifferent to her. But Zi Hue is eventually successful in getting on well with Le Le. And it is Wei Wu that contributes to her success by staying around to motivate and help her through all the hardships in both physical and mental life. Not soon later, Zi Hue 's home opens to welcome a new member, Dou Dou, who comes to live, study and play with Le Le as a friend. At this time, Zi Hue is playing the role of a teacher and mother when having to look after the two children. Days pass by; the greater affection Zi Hue feels for Le Le and Dou Dou, the deeper her love towards Wei Wu seems to grow. And Wei Wu also recognizes this special sort of love in Zi Hue but he always tries to pretend not to know about it at all whenever Zi Hue mentions the relationship between them. Despite Wei Wu 's avoidance, she keeps on waiting until he is courageous enough to naturally express his true feelings. Up to now, it is obvious that we have known Zi Hue and Wei Wu are a couple in this movie.

Next, the movie concentrates on another couple, Zi Qiang and La Man. While Zi Hue is trying to overcome her loss of husband, Zi Qiang gets into troubles. Particularly, his computer network company goes bankrupt and even worse than that, he later knows he is suffering a severe brain tumour. He is told that he just has three months left to survive unless being operated immediately and even in the case he agrees to have an operation; the possibility of success accounts for 50% only. At first depressed by his business failure and later by the serious disease, Zi Qiang feels lost and hopeless. That is why he gives no thought to continuing to exist in this world rather than ,which he thinks as a release for himself and his sister as well. At these hot moments of the movie, the other half of him, La Man appears and comes around his bed through days and nights with no complaints. And it is La Man that seems to be a wonderful source of consolation and comfort or something like a log of wood in the vast deserted and icy ocean for him to grasp to go on living and combat his disease. La Man 's noble love is more clearly shown in her being willing to marry Zi Qiang before he is taken to the operating theatre. At the beginning, Zi Qiang assertively says no to La Man 's suggestion but at the end he changes his mind due to her holly love. As a result, his operation goes more perfectly than expected and their love comes to a happy close later. In contrast, the relationship between Zi Hue and Wei Wu breaks up as he frankly suggests seperating from Zi Hue in order to get married to another lady. This event occurs so quickly that Zi Hue hasn't really known what is happening. This time Zi Hue 's heart is almost broken as she always considers herself as a person that can understand Wei Wu most. After all, it turns out that he is not a true man which is supposed only to be able to find after being selected from thousands of men as she thinks. Following the movie up to here, I think TV viewers probably get totally disappointed about the character, Wei Wu; but the truth is not the same as what we see by apperance. In fact, Wei Wu just makes believe to marry a woman that needs a husband to be eligible to inherit her father 's fortune on the condition that he will get a large sum of money to settle all the costs of Zi Qiang 's operation in return. Wei Wu acts this way because he can't stand seeing Zi Hue cry on her own due to not being able to prepare enough money for the operation after running everywhere to ask for financial help. Nevertheless, he finally fails to win himself. He actually realizes how much he loves Zi Hue when he enters the marriage register office with an entirely unfamiliar woman but not his true lady. So right after that he is determined to delay the date of marriage registry until the eleventh hour, just one day ahead of Zi Qiang 's operation. Fortunately, La Man 's father pays for Zi Qiang 's operation before Wei Wu has to make his final decision. After Zi Qiang 's operation, Wei Wu dare not tell Zi Hue the reason why he acted like that for fear that he might hurt her one more time. However, thanks to his true love for Zi Hue, the woman that he ,first intended to get married to but later did not, is so much impressed that she automatically gets to see Zi Hue and tells her about all things. Knowing this Zi Hue is extremely happy because what she imagines about Wei Wu is completely correct. After that, in order to express all his love, Wei Wu hands Zi Hue his diary, which contains all his confidences and secrets.

Near the end of the movie, Dou Dou leaves Zi Hue for the reunion with his father just released from the prison. Some days later, Le Le 's mother gets back from America and takes Le Le with her, too. Zi Hue has to see her two children off in tears. From this time forward, Zi Hue 's home is absent from children 's laughters and voices but it will not be so cold as it used to because she already has Wei Wu to talk to and to share all happiness and sadness as well with.

Finally, the movie closes with the scene of Zi Hue and Wei Wu 's happy life in their cozy little home.
