Drunken Murong mistakes Ouyang for

Drunken Murong mistakes Ouyang for Huang Yaoshi, while Ouyang Feng takes the role and expresses the previously unspeakable “I love you”. The following montage captures a fascinating mirror image of desire through the illusions of the four characters. The first image that catches our view is a shadow passing through a wall. Murong Yin is shown in the reverse shot with her back to the camera. When it cuts to the wall behind her again, Yang replaces Yin, whose body is pressed against the wall, seemingly embracing his reflection. In the next shot, Yin stands on the left side of the screen in contemplation. But this symmetrical composition unbalances our perception, as it should be Yang standing on the right-hand side following the principle of continuity. Then a close-up of Ouyang Feng foregrounds in the picture, followed by Murong’s out-of-focus face. Murong’s wandering hand is like a ribbon touching the sorrow, which functions as a moving transmutation calling forth dramatic fission of space and time. The strength of Yin's fondling intensifies with Yang's emotional density, and the wavering ripples on the wall project onto Ouyang Feng and arouse his repressed memory, "I know I’m not the person she wants to touch. She merely mistakes me for another man, and so do I. Her hands are as warm as my sister-in-law's." At the nostalgic moment, the images of the four characters doubles with the rhythm of the wandering hand. Remarkably, Yan and Ying's movements coincide but never overlap; the faces are never fully framed together - implying that even in the most intimate illusions, they are still distant and unreachable.
