What happens

Green Tea (simplified Chinese: 绿茶; traditional Chinese: 綠茶; pinyin: Lǜ Chá) is a 2003 Chinese romantic drama film. It was adapted from the novel Adiliya by the River by Jin Renshun. Shot in the summer of 2002, Green Tea was one of three films directed by Zhang Yuan that year (including the earlier I Love You and the subsequent Jiang Jie). The film was photographed by established Hong Kong-cinematographer Christopher Doyle, whose work gives Green Tea a more polished look than many of Zhang's earlier independent features.
