Downer Ending: Nansan dies at the end of the movies, broke and homeless in a New York park. His son grows up parentless and thinking he was abandoned, and Li Hung doesn't really remember who he is.

Disproportionate Retribution: One of the early signs of Li Hung's denigrating mental health was the way she nearly killed a fellow student for asking her out for coffee.

comment
Fair Weather Friend: The friend that Nansan stays with in the beginning of the movie is initially willing to help Nansan, and even willing to help him pay for his star in New York and help him find a job, but forces him out when he learns that Nansan is an illegal immigrant, which would put his own chances for citizenship at risk.
