Just over 40 - years ago, marriage in China was arranged by the state. Romantic love was seen as a capitalist concept and was not allowed during this period. Wedding photography (if any at all) consisted of one black and white passport photo of the couple (dressed in Mao- style outfits) as proof of the marriage. Now, China has fallen in love with love and its exploding wedding industry is worth 80 - billion dollars, and it is on an upward curve. Pre-wedding photography is one of the most significant and curious parts of the industry. Every couple marrying in China will take part in a pre-wedding shoot. It in册ves several costume and backdrop changes where you can become a character in any fantasy you choose. For the most exotic lo- cations couples pay up to $250 - 000 - AUD. Pre-wedding photo shoots have become an important national ritual. They are proof of the marriage but now also of love, romance, freedom, status, money and the new China Dream. As an expat living in Shanghai with a long history of coming to China, Sinophile photographer Olivia Mar- tin-McGuire was captivated by the construction of dreams through this booming photographic world. Once she started to delve deeper into this new traditional she found a unique window into China. One that revealed a country dreaming, a country rapidly booming and a country reconstructing its recent past trauma all through their own lens. China Love takes us on a wild journey into the warmth of the family web in China into the hearts of our characters and into their personal dreams with an understanding of why and where these aspirations come from. The project explores China's new position as a globalised country from its restrictive and highly traditional past - through the window of its booming wedding industry and asks what is the new China Dream when it comes to love.

黎耀辉（梁朝伟）和何保荣（张国荣）互换过名字和身份；黎耀辉曾为何保荣自杀过；他们之间曾经出现过一个女人（关淑怡）……作为《春光乍泄》的工作人员重返阿根廷拍摄现场拍摄的该片，混合剪辑了许多如上的电影上映版中没有的片段，并有王家卫、梁朝伟等人拍摄《春光乍泄》过程中的诸多真实心情记录。                                            《春光乍泄》原来的故事大纲是“布宜诺斯艾利斯情事”，是说何保荣（梁朝伟）来到阿根廷替他父亲处理善后，却意外发觉他父亲在当地有个同性情人，好奇心使其萌生与同性交往的念想。而原来故事的主场景，也不是上映版中最常出现的探戈小酒馆，而是从一家当地的中国餐馆开始的。
