The supporting roles of "Flowers" are also eye-catching, among which Zeng Meihuizi's performance made the audience's eyes shine, and she once made a guest appearance in Xingye's movie "Kung Fu", which can be described as a powerful actor.
And You Benchang is full of aura in the play, although he played the leading role in the old version of "Jigong" before, and now he is over ninety years old.
In his youth, You Benchang lived in Macheng, Hubei Province, and his family was poor, but he established the belief of "tireless learning and hard work" since he was a child, and he was diligent and helpful.
When he was a student, he had excellent grades, served as a student leader, and was deeply loved by teachers and classmates.
After graduating from Macheng No. 1 Middle School in Hubei Province in July 1992, You Benchang gave up employment opportunities and resolutely chose to join the army.
Although he was not tall and physically strong, he actively participated in various military training in the army and meticulously completed every task, winning unanimous praise from leaders and comrades-in-arms.

The role of Manager Pan is played by Tong Chenjie, although it is not popular in the film and television industry, but it has attracted much attention in the modeling industry.
Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers" is a typical group drama of the era, each supporting role is in line with the actor's own characteristics, three-dimensional and full.
Wong Kar-wai spent 7 years of preparation, specially bought a film and television base, and built a number of streets in Shanghai, striving to reproduce Shanghai in the 90s.
The background of each song in the play is just right, and the atmosphere is also in place.
CCTV commented that "Flowers" may become a unique masterpiece for a long time.
In general, internal entertainment is not a lack of talents, a bad script, and insufficient funds, but a lack of sincere and good production.
In the past decade, although the film and television industry has been growing, it is full of all kinds of homogeneous and shoddy works.
There are only a handful of works that can break through innovation and hit the heart.
Blossom is full of sincerity, but there are very few such works in the film and television industry.
Perhaps, the only regret of "Flowers" is that in our film and television industry, there are few works that can handle every detail so carefully like it.
