ChinaPost: You Are the Apple of My Eye review
Helping audiences re-live sweet memories — the bicycle ride to school, playing ball during recess, graduation and staying after school only to get closer to the girl you like, “You Are the Apple of My Eyes” has it all.

Release schedule

Wang moved to California to study medicine. His Christian parents arranged for him to stay with a Quaker family, but they turned out to be prominent radicals whose house was frequented by Black Panthers and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Wang soon abandoned medicine, attending the California College of Arts and Crafts to study film, and married a former Miss Hong Kong, Cora Miao – without telling his parents.
