The movie may be a little bit too extreme but there is a cliche in Chinese ":Art comes from real life."
Take ordinary people's life as an example, lots of immigrants here in Canada don't live with their spouses for one reason or another, of course many peole get divorced because of that but majority of them hold on until they are reunited with their spouses. But if you tell a 'foreigner" that you haven't seen your spouse for half a year, they will look at you and go, are you crazy? Why are you still married to that idiot?
Anyway, I do believe there is "Chinese" and "Western"-style love, and I prefer the former.
