Gu Wentong's working partner is Ouyang Wenhui, a young photographer. They always meet near Baita Temple to visit restaurants and pubs in Beijing. With the deepening of mutual understanding, their relationship has become sometimes romantic and secretive, and sometimes like a father or a daughter.

He learned that Ouyang Sheng was in Beidaihe, which happened to be an opportunity for him to visit Beidaihe. The trip to Beidaihe made Gu Wentong seem to find his father's shadow in himself. As a father, a son and a partner, he began to re-examine his life.

movie evaluation:

a good movie is like wine. White wine, such as "the legendary swordsman", is pure and sweet, from the soles of the feet to the top of the skull, and red wine, such as "In the Mood for Love", has a lasting charm for three days. The Light of the White Pagoda is like yellow rice wine, with a plain taste at home, but the aftereffect should not be underestimated. There are always some fragments and emotions that will suddenly flash back from time to time in the ordinary life of rice and rice, and unconsciously it seems like a light.

This film, which has little drama conflict, is not bloody, sensational or brain-burning, is not boring to watch, and the director controls the narrative rhythm of the film quite naturally and smoothly. The picture on the screen is like a slowly flowing river, with fragments of time and emotion, slowly accompanying the audience into Gu Wentong's spiritual world.

all the characters in the whole film, with Gu Wentong as the core, Ouyang Wenhui, his father Gu Yunlai, his relatives, friends, and even his daughter in elementary school, are all in a lonely and helpless gray area. The description of individual circumstances, complex emotions and lamentation of life are the profound charm of the film.
