  Even before its release, the buzz dominated major media headlines. From New Year's Day onwards, the film The Mermaid has remained a sensation. Chow uses ordinariness to express lofty ideals, employing seemingly insignificant minor characters to repeatedly spark uproarious laughter from audiences—all achievements born from his meticulous effort. What makes it so touching is that it recounts the most ordinary stories from our everyday lives, proving that the ordinary is great.

　　Beyond the fact that we all owe the film a ticket, its popularity carries a deeper meaning: —— environmental protection. The entire film contrasts human greed and malevolence with the innocence and purity of nature. Using the romance between wealthy businessman Xuan and Shan as a vehicle, the film's core theme is mirrored in Shan's recurring dialogue: —— If one day we no longer have a single breath of clean air or a drop of clean water, no matter how rich we are, it will be the end of us.

　　Looking across Stephen Chow's many films, he consistently uses ordinary characters and mundane stories to impart philosophical truths about life and human nature. In 2016, the newly replicatedReplica Blancpain Fifty Fathoms watch, with a desire for exploration and an enterprising spirit, it provides precise underwater timing for diving enthusiasts.
