Chun can hua wei luo Love never fades [motion picture] / Director, Chor Yuen. Reviviscence Hong Kong. Hong Kong : Rose Motion Picture Company, 1965. 1965 [Release]. 96 min. : sd., b&w ; 35 mm. Film criticism: 'Love Never Fades' tells the story of a lowborn woman who marries a rich husband…forced to leave her husband and daughter, she lives her life with a clear conscience knowing that she has paid her dues to herself and others. She takes away with her happiness from a family that is bound by moral constraints and a phony reputation. The film speaks of personal responsibilities and delves deeper into the distinction between 'intrinsic responsibilities' and 'superficial responsibilities'—a testimony of a transition in his directorial style, from outward to inward, which was the key to the rich flavour and finesse of 'Love Never Fades'. (Sek Kei: 'College Life Monthly', October 1966) The standard of 'Love Never Fades' is on par with 'The Great Devotion', 'Rose in Tears' and 'Ungratefulness', only more mature and mellow. During several scene transitions, the motion of the characters is put to a tranquil halt, slowly fading out with the dimming of the light. The moderately paced tempo and the daintily crafted scenes evoke a faintly melancholic aura.

Orphan girl Lee Dan-hung is made a scapegoat by her cousin Chor Kwai-ping. Facing drug trafficking charges, Lee is released on parole with the doctor To King-chung acting as her guarantor. Lee later works as a nurse in a sanatorium. Warming to the modest caretaker, Matriarch To plays matchmaker for her son To Ngan-sing and the nurse. Ashamed of her past, Lee listens to the doctor's advice and keeps the Tos in the dark. A relentless Chor returns, coercing Lee into colluding with the smuggling ring by threatening to kill her newborn daughter. The reluctant collaborator is arrested in a police raid together with the gang members but is later acquitted. With a reputation to defend, Ngan-sing toughens his heart and expels the black sheep of the family. Lee leaves for Borneo with a touring opera troupe but a yearning for her daughter brings her back several years later. Feeling for the upset in-law, Matriarch To grants her stay until his son's return from business in a few months' time. When Ngan-sing returns, he decides to make up for the wasted time by bringing Lee and daughter home.
