Love Is Not Blind is a 2011 Chinese romantic comedy film directed by Teng Huatao.[3] The film was adapted from an online novel[4] written by Bao Jingjing which has been popular among cyber users since its appearance. Due to the popularity of the source,[5] Teng adapted the novel into a movie,[6] which was said to be prepared specially for Nov.11—the Singles' Day in China.[7] The film became a major commercial success in China, considering its low budget. Now Teng is considering adapting the novel into a TV play.[8]
Huang Xiaoxian, a 27-year-old woman who lives in Beijing, breaks up with her boyfriend of 7 years after witnessing him on a date with her best friend in a shopping mall. Heart-broken and depressed, Xiaoxian mopes around at work and nearly gets fired for screwing up a big assignment. With the surprising help from a colleague she usually loathes, Xiaoxian gradually heals, starts to see more truly of herself, and finds love from someone who has always been there for her.
Love Song,[9] sung by Chen Shanni, with lyrics and music by her as well, was first included in Chen's album Later, we all cried in 2004.
