What happened to the young girlfriend?? Spoiler….


I watched it with subtitle.
The subtitle really didn’t say much about the young skating girlfriend.
I presume that she sent a letter notifying the guy that she’s pregenant, but his father didn’t show the letter to his sun and had the baby abortioned.
Right??
And is she the wife?

What a father!!!
He wouldn’t let his sun get on train to start a new life, but he himself disappears overnight???

I just watched it with subtitles.. Chinese subtitles.. and I'm learning it right now. Right, the letter was about her pregnancy and the baby was abortioned. I dunno if she's the wife or not.

Okay, after conversing with my classmates and my teacher, it seems like the first girlfriend wasn't the wife.

Yes, it seems like the father ran off. Though the sunflowers at the end hints that he isn't too far.

You're right...the girlfriend is not the wife that we see later on.
The girlfriend that Xiangyang meets on the frozen lake is called Yu Hong, where as his wife is called Xiao Han Jing. Two different people..

That's because he can't deal with changes. After his friend died, the last part of his old world was gone. He preferred to just disappear soon after that than to deal with a whole new life.

Well just finished watching this movie and I thought that was a bit cruel. How does he have that authority to force someone to have an abortion anyway? And then both parents later on in the movie nag him to have a kid......
