Ah Mei???

Many viewers, even Roger Ebert in his review of Three Times, refer to Qi Shu's character in the 1911 segment as being called 'Ah Mei'. I have studied the film over and over and believe that Qi Shu's character is never named; The character referred to as Ah Mei is the other courtesan who becomes pregnant. Note in the film that Mr. Chang & his courtesan (Qi Shu) speak about Ah Mei in a third party context. Therefore, it is evident in the film that the character played by Qi Shu in 'A Time for Freedom' is nameless and that Ah Mei is a separate character played by Shi-Zheng Chen, the same actress playing Haruko in the 1966 segment. I really needed to clear this up!
