- 2012, Sara L. Friedman, “Another Kind of Love?”, in Media, Erotics, and Transnational Asia[1], Duke University Press, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 234:
- When I first watched The Twin Bracelets in 1993 in the United States, I was skeptical of its being marketed as a lesbian film. After several years of fieldwork in eastern Hui’an County, a coastal region of southeast China, where the story ostensibly takes place, I became more convinced that the film was being misread in the United States, in large part due to the tendency to subsume same-sex intimacy under sexual identity.
