In an interview with the New York Times, director Ang Lee explained about the final scene between Yu Shu Lien and Li Mu Bai stating,"I knew those were real tears," Lee said of Yeoh filming a tearful goodbye scene. "A lot of pressures gushing out, months of repression, and perhaps a lifetime of hopeful thinking. All that effort comes up." After witnessing Yeoh's performance on set, Lee said he had to excuse himself to cry in private for 15 minutes. "In Chinese, we call it xiang you xin sheng -- your countenance, when the way you look comes from the heart," Lee added.
