Blue Gate Crossing (Chinese: 藍色大門; pinyin: lánsè dà mén) is a 2002 Taiwanese film directed and written by Yee Chih-yen. It was screened at the Director's Fortnight section of the 2002 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for Best Asian Film at the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards held in 2004. The film grossed over five million New Taiwan Dollars at the box office in Taiwan, which was a rare achievement for a Taiwanese film in the 2000s.
Meng Kerou and Lin Yuezhen were classmates in the same high school, and they were as close as sisters and talked about everything to each other. One day, Yuezhen told Kerou that she liked Zhang Shihao, the swimming team's ace, and asked Kerou to help her confess her feelings. When Kerou couldn't resist Yuezhen's pleading and went to express her friend's love to Shihao, Yuezhen ran away in shyness, causing Shihao to mistakenly believe that Kerou was the one who was shy and expressing her own feelings for him on behalf of her friend. Shihao was deeply attracted to Kerou and started pursuing her, but Kerou always avoided him. Shihao was deeply puzzled, and in the end, Kerou confided a secret to him, and they moved beyond being just friends.
