Movies have no borders. However, a good film needs to be accompanied by a good translation, so that audiences in different languages can better understand the original intention of the film. Among them, the translation of movie titles is the primary consideration.

In the past, English movies were translated into Chinese, and as a result, the same movie was translated into different names in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan Province provinces, such as The Shawshank Redemption, The Shawshank Redemption in Chinese mainland, Stimulation 1995 in Taiwan Province Province and Flying in the Dark Moon in Hong Kong. Which name do you think is better?

Goodbye, my little wife.
