The Farewell (2019)

🎥 'To Tell or Not to tell'

Reflection
Each one of us will die one day. Would it make a difference if we could know 'when' we would stop breathing ?

Would you prefer to 'know' the time of your appointment with death ? or would you prefer to 'not know' the time of your appointment with death.  

Favourite Line 
Nai Nai: Life is not only about what you do, it's also about how you do it. (Original dialogue is in Mandarin!)
