Oh interesting I never knew in Brazil Portuguese is spoken I always assumed it was Spanish.
Hi! Our country is the only one in South America where Portuguese is spoken, because of its Portuguese colonization, while the others were colonized by the Spanish. We have a beautiful and rich culture, with many influences, including Chinese because of trade with Macau. We even have Japanese and Chinese colonies, as well as Italian colonies in the southeast of the country, mainly in the state of São Paulo. In the south we have states with strong German and Italian descent, where they maintain their cultures, customs, languages and dialects, in addition to Portuguese. In the northeast of the country, there is a strong presence of Dutch and French descent. These influences were due to colonization that brought negro people to the shameful slave labor. The negro people have a notable role with their vast culture. The original people, the indigenous, had a profound influence on the formation of the language, we have a vast vocabulary with indigenous words, in addition to a rich heritage of their culture. Brazil is a plural country in its ethnic formation, a fact that has guaranteed us an enormous cultural diversity.
We have a beautiful word, in Portuguese, to describe the lack of someone or something: “saudade”. It is the only language in the world that has a specific word with such a meaning (it is not a verb). In English we say “I'll miss”, in Portuguese we just say “saudade”. So... I'm going to feel a deep 'saudade' of "The double". What unforgettable moments I had! What wonderful discussions I saw here! (PS: In Brazil we speak Portuguese).
I am ignorant musically but the Guzheng duel in the entrance exam was one of my favorite scenes.
As I said above, I'm looking for its title, its composer and its score. The problem os that there's no information about this song, only about the song sang by Mi Liang. Thank you so much for your attention!

Why don't you study? There are many channels on YouTube and super educational apps! I'm sure you'll love it! You don't need to go so far that you'll be able to speak, but to know the structure of the language, its dynamics, its history, its logic.
This is the first time I have to admit that the Guzheng play looks more realistic compared to other dramas. It…
I'm a musician and I always pay special attention to this type of detail that is neglected in most films (on a global level...), while martial arts are always accurate. Very interesting that you comment on this. Even if the viewer is not a musician, it is possible to notice the lack of synchronization between the movements of the hands/fingers/body and the melody. The musical instrument is something alive, it is also a body, with which you interact, but in general it is treated like a toy and the artist looks like a child pretending to play. I agree with you that in “The Double” the director paid attention to this detail as important as the beauty of the tea rite. Music also has its rite.

Mine too! That song she played can't be found anywhere. This work is not on the playlist, just the song sung by Mi Liang, "Spring fading into white pear blossoms" (very beautiful too!). I searched for many days on Google but... Its name is certainly on the film's technical sheet, but you can't find it on the internet either, neither in Mandarin nor in English. I saw a lot of ppl asking here if anyone knew its name and how to find it. I'm not the only one...So I recorded the scene so that I can at least listen to it whenever I want.

I'm studying by myself. It's a beautiful language, it's a tonal language, the same word can have different meanings, depending on the intonation. The phonemes are charming, very musical. I love Chinese culture and I simply adore its music (I'm a musician), its literature, its poetry, especially Li Bai, its mysticism and spirituality, its rites, especially the tea rite. It is a vast cosmos of beauty driven by a deep and subtle artistic sense. Such knowledge, such a vast history, such a civilization illuminates the thoughts of humanity.
