Before reading anything on this movie I didnt noticed that there  are 3 different stories est in 3 different times  going backwards ie from future to past! In other words it shows
First story is shows  a man around 60  years of age living or taking the futuristic bus in  the streets in a Chinese town, gong into a socially underground district to find  a woman in a brother  who gives her a gun. Some one tells him to divorce his wife. In the bus we see some technology with glassy tablet over the rear part of the seats .This is a   marginally interesting and boring story with a relatively slow pace.

A few intesting things of the futuristic part:
-Something as LED under the arm
-`Glassy'   tablets in the bis chairs
-Mini robots
-Serum of juvenility in a commercial

Second part shows the same girl stealing from supermarkets and other shops because she is kleptomaniac as she advised the policeman as she noted later. This young  policeman  later become a friend with her . No more spoilers here . this story is more interesting than the previous with more intense action 

Third part shows a woman at her 50's being arrested by policemen for unknown reason and kept in the entrance hall where she meets a young boy. I hide the one word spoiler that is the critical key of this  story. The end is too melodramatic and even more interesting 

From  the above it is clear that these stories are not so coherent except for Ara the French Girl on the first  and second mostly speaking in English .   I was much surprised after reading that this shows a policeman's  story in reverse! And this is the funny : How ARA continues to show the same age  evcen if ZhanDong is shown in the fit part as around  55 years old

Video with high compression (?) is shown very grainy even if it is HD mode, Nice places too The song played in start and end of the movie aka 愛不要給太多 Don't give too much love Liu Wen Zheng is also nice melody of the past (80s)

Rate 6/10 an impressive idea behind
