Re: Film Review

Reflection on Border Crossing Activity Although I have learned English for over ten years, it's the first time I could share my idea with foreigners, so I highly appreciate this activity.

Re: The Patriarchal Definition of Success: A Response to And the Spring Comes and Mona Lisa Smile

Dear Jiancai, I appreciate you taking the time to read my essay and offer your comments. Please allow me to address your core question: Why Hu Jinquan, Wang Cailing, and Watson had different fates. I think one way of addressing this question is by noting the context in which each character resided....

I really like the focus of your essay, patriarchy is indeed the same cultural background of these two films. But I believe that it would be better for you to analyse why Hu Jinquan, Wang Cailing and Watson had different fates later.

Good luck

But there might be a problem in the third part of your essay. I believe that you want to analyse the differences between Chinese and Western philosophy, but...
