I want to get a bit off-the-topic - when I was at middle school (final year) and we studied Lu
Xun's style, our teacher made a comment that many regarded Lu Xun as the greatest writer (or one
of the greatest writers) in Modern China but it was always easier to make criticism than to really
make things happen. I still remember it clearly after all these years. It was not really about the
writer, or the literature. Our Chinese teacher taught us more than that.
Hahahahahahahahahaha! Your teacher's word is right! You’re so lovely! I really like you and your
teacher! (Take it easy, I’m not a lesbian.) I want to tell you another thing else might be
long-winded and irrelevant too. According to some Premier Zhou Enlai’s staff’s memory, Zhou
used to mention that he wanted to write a book to tell others his mistakes in his whole life to
give some enlightenment to the next generation. Though he asked his staff to help him collect some
materials, none of them dared to do so. It is so pity that this great book can't make its show to
this world.
Cheers!

Looks like someone at SARFT finally got around to viewing the deleted scenes, poor Tang Wei is now
persona non-grata. SARFT must be a fantastic place to work, you just wait for something to be
popular, then jerk your knee and ban it.

Hehe. In my opinion, Miss Tang must be even more heated after this. You know what is called
“antagonistic psychology逆反心理”, right?

No. Hehe. I think SARFT is helping Miss Tang get her name even more well-known. Hehe. Poor SARFT,
it is doing something so dramatically opposite （南辕北辙）.
Cheers!

I still don't understand why she was banned, however Tony and his 肉球 weren't.

That’s because Tony Leung is an HKer. If Tony were banned, it could cause even more vehement
discussions and uproars in not only mainland but also in Hong Kong. It is the last thing the
central government wants to see.

Perhaps because a woman having sex in a hotel room with a married man is more shocking than a
married man having sex in a hotel room with a woman? Somewhere else I read that it also was
because her character was 'unpatriotic'. Or perhaps it is because Tony Leung is more famous and
established.
Poor Tang Wei. Sure she can go to Hong Kong or the US or wherever and make some more great movies,
but it would have been better if she had the choice to stay right at home if she wanted to.

The primary reason for the ban wasn’t the sex scenes, which were deleted, but because Tang
Wei’s character falls in love with the Japanese collaborator. Of course, Ang Lee’s intention
(as was Eileen Chang's) was not to glorifying a traitor, but to portray the complexity of life.
According to: ":
Quote:
the authorities in Beijing have since censured officials at SARFT for allowing the “film to be
released, charging that they had passed a film that was a “glorification of traitors and
insulting to patriots”. Several officials at SARFT are believed to have been fired or punished
in the crackdown.
Also, poor Tang Wei loses an advertising promotion deal “reported to be worth six million
yuan.” Had she know, she might have overcome her passion and discovered her inner patriotic duty
to murder the Japanese collaborator (played by Tony Leung) with her bear legs. Perhaps that would
have been better tolerated.

But why ban her now if the movie has already been showing in Chinese theatres for several months
now?
Allowing the movie to be shown and then banning the actress several months later seems fuzzy.
Might as well ban the movie on opening day.

I like her.
I heard the government bans films and directors, but never ban actors. So what happened?!
danwei just posted a video of Zhang Xuan.

They could not ban Ang Lee either because banning the popular director would create a huge uproar
in Taiwan, One of the last things the central government want to see are anti-China sentiments
influencing the vote on March 22nd.
Lee is also an artistic advisor to the Olympics.
Tang Wei did not have leverage power unfortunately.
