The literal translation of the title of this movie is: Depart in Life and Separation by Death.This movie has the very obvious implication of the real life for its time:This movie was made during the Second World War, and China was already at war even earlier.Such close proximity with the harsh and brutal reality had touched the heart of the Chinese audience and unlike most other Chinese movies made during the Second World War which usually resulted in box office failure, this one did not.
