I Love You is a 2002 Chinese drama film directed by Zhang Yuan and starring Xu Jinglei and Tong Dawei. The film was a co-production between the Xi'an Film Studio and Jewel Film Investment Company.
It is one of three films made by Zhang in 2002 (the other two being a film of the 1964 communist opera Jiang jie, and the romantic comedy, Green Tea) marking one of the more prolific periods in his career. I Love You is based on author Wang Shuo's novel Get a Kick and Die. Zhang would again adapt one of Wang's stories in 2006's Little Red Flowers.
Du Xiaoju (Xu Jinglei) and Wang Yi (Tong Dawei) are two people in their 20s living in contemporary Beijing. As the film opens, Xiaoju is about to marry one of Yi's friends. Before the day of the wedding, her fiancé inadvertently commits suicide by diving into an empty swimming pool while drunk. Devastated, Xiaoju becomes increasingly close to Wang Yi, which causes them to fall in love and marry.
The honeymoon period between Xiaoju and Yi proves short, however, as Xiaoju begins to exhibit increasingly unbalanced behavior. She teases her husband about harboring a crush on her former roommate (Pan Juan), and interrogates him on his former partners. Soon, the teasing erupts into public rows, much to the consternation of their friend, Pan Youjun (Du Peng). As Xiaoju becomes convinced that her husband no longer loves her, her behavior become erratic, obsessive, and ultimately dangerous.
Facing the world with an empty heart
I could disappear, into the dark
And you were the one
Who could make my dreams come true, my dear, it's you
When you're not around, my heart stands still
Within you'll remain and always will
Wo ai ni, I love you
Wo ai ni, I need you
More than I ever did anyone
I never felt like this before
Wo ai ni, I want you
Wo ai ni, I need you
We could be two lovers from the past
And the future is our chance
I love you
Illusions as there is another girl
Who would interfear, into my plans
And you were the one
Who could make my dreams come true, my dear, it's you
When you're not around, my heart stands still
Within you'll remain and always will
Wo ai ni, I love you
Wo ai ni, I need you
More than I ever did anyone
I never felt like this before
Wo ai ni, I want you
Wo ai ni, I need you
We could be two lovers from the past
And the future is our chance
