In the drama "Flowers" directed by Wong Kar-wai, Betty (Xuezhi) played by Du Juan is like a white moonlight, illuminating the life path of Ah Bao (played by Hu Ge). In this period drama set in Shanghai and about Bao's entrepreneurship and emotional ups and downs, Betty's image has become an unforgettable memory in the hearts of the audience.
Ten years ago, Ah Bao was not what people said about Mr. Bao, at that time he was just an ordinary young man, accompanied by his beloved girl Xuezhi. They walked 16 stops together, watching the light of the small lamp hit Xuezhi's face, and the picture was so beautiful that it was calming. In the steaming alley, the neighbors all know that Xuezhi is Po's sweetheart. However, the good times did not last long, and Xuezhi married far away in Hong Kong, leaving Po with only deep thoughts and endless waiting.
When Betty returns to Shanghai in her new capacity, she is no longer the Xuezhi in a blue coat with curved eyebrows and a smile warmer than the spring breeze. She wore a red suit, permed her hair, and red lips were charming, and she became a modern girl in the pictorial of the 90s.
However, in Po's heart, she is still the Xuezhi who makes his heart flutter. Betty's appearance not only allowed Po to see her changes, but also made him deeply understand the impermanence of life and the unpredictability of the world.
As a white moonlight professional, Du Juan's performance in "Flowers" is perfect. She not only has amazing beauty, but also has excellent acting skills. She brings out the complexity and versatility of Betty's character to the fullest. Whether it is pure and lovely as Xuezhi or charming and touching as Betty, she can easily control it. Under Cuckoo's interpretation, Betty becomes a charismatic and haunting character.
During Po's upbringing, Betty (Xuezhi) had a profound influence on him. She not only taught Po the truth of "people go to higher places", but also made him understand the impermanence of life and the importance of cherishing the people in front of him. Although Po was not convinced by Betty's choices and changes at first, as time went by and his experience increased, he gradually understood her hardships and choices. This understanding and tolerance has also made Po a more mature and responsible person.
The partnership between Du Juan and Hu Ge can also be described as a match made in heaven. The tacit cooperation and affectionate performance of the two in the play moved the audience. Whether it's a sweet interaction or a sadistic parting drama, they can easily navigate and present themselves at their best. This also made the series "Flowers" gain a high reputation and attention after it was broadcast.

Director Wong Kar-wai's unique perspective and delicate portrayal make this series full of artistic sense and ornamentation; First-class scripts provide the actors with the space and opportunity to give full play to their talents; The sophisticated production team ensures the perfect presentation of the series in terms of visual effects, costumes and props.
As a period drama, "Flowers" not only shows the style and historical changes of the city of Shanghai, but also arouses the audience's thinking about love, life and other issues through the love story between Po and Betty (Xuezhi). This drama not only has viewing value, but also has profound ideological connotation and social significance.
