However, Huawei's Jianghu status has repeatedly frustrated this feeling. 1989 Jacky Cheung won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards for Tears Running.

Behind the scenes production

For the creation of this film, Wong Kar-wai made friends with some underworld people and learned more about their lives before he started directing this film.

Before filming Tears, Tan Jiaming and Wong Kar-wai had two stories about gangs, one about their final success and the other about their failure. Tan Jiaming chose the former, and Wong Kar-wai redefined the second story, so there was Tears.
