Opening on the 26th, A BEAUTIFUL LIFE (BUT JOI YEUNG NEI GOO DAN) is the most tearful film in Shu Qi's career. The romance in the film is deeply touching. With actor Liu Ye's detailed performance, she can get into character very easily and perform to her fullest. In every crying scene she and Liu Ye shed real tears and absolutely never use a drop of eye drop for assistance. Sometimes when Shu Qi watches her performance on playback, she is still teary eyed. Even some of the team are teary eyed.

Shu Qi's most memorable film is telling the truth after drinking. Because she has always had quite a tolerance, this scene truly tests her acting abilities. In the story she sees Liu Ye's harmonious relationship with his family. Liu Ye's speech impaired brother Tian Liang also just proposed and planned to marry a mute girl. Everything just hit Shu Qi at once. Because Shu Qi's mood had to be gradual, this scene spent six minutes on a long distance shot. She also gave her all to the performance. After the first take, the director said to her, "Not bad, but can we do another?" Shu Qi almost fainted on the spot. Finally the director took seven takes. On the final take, thunder came. Because it coordinated with the atmosphere well, the director finally chose the final take.

Aside from a touching story, Shu Qi and Liu Ye in the film also have sweet moments. Shu Qi even cuts Liu Ye's hair, but she only pretends to. Shu Qi says that she is very afraid of really cutting Liu Ye's hair or ear, but in the story she accidentally cut Liu Ye's ear. Liu Ye tells Shu Qi not to worry too much. Since his head is already in her hands, he can only trust her fully to be able to get through this round. In addition after Ivana Wong Yuen Chi created the song MISS THE ADDRESS for the movie, Andrew Lau Wai Keung also invites Hong Kong song god Jacky Cheung Hok Yau to sing another song for the film, SILENT GUITAR.
