The first time I wore a Chu suit, I shot it in the scenic spot of Suqian Xiangwangs hometown. Xing Yu and Yu Ji of the childhood sweetheart, still obey each other after adulthood. In the troubled times, Xiang Yu only guarded Yu Ji. For the trepidation of the army, Yu Ji did not hesitate to pull the sword. Some love, too thick and too thick, people dare not to bear, but also quietly yearning for. In the years to come, I hope that there will always be someone who loves everyday life, bones and blood, and soul. Before you, love yourself.
