1. Cheng Dieyi

Movie Name: Farewell My Concubine

Released Date: January 1, 1993

Movie Review: A fine movie, a true epic. As the only Chinese film awarded the highest prize at the Cannes Film Festival, the Palme d'Or, Farewell My Concubine marks a milestone in the history of Chinese movies, gaining world acclaim for the first time.

Role Review: Cheng Dieyi is a pathetic man in the troubled times as he loves a guy who cannot be loved during that time period. He chooses to die rather than accept the truth. Cheng Dieyi's life ends happily as he died in the arms of the guy he loves, just like the role he has played for thousands of times.
