Adel’s Love for Chinese Movies: A Journey Across Cultures 🎬
Have you ever watched a movie that made you feel like you were part of another world? That’s exactly how Adel, a student from Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 studying at Tsinghua University in Beijing, feels about Chinese films!
Adel’s adventure with Chinese cinema began when she watched “Better Days.” It was the first Chinese movie she ever saw, and it opened up a whole new world for her. She was amazed by the storytelling and the emotions it brought out.
One of her favorite movies is “Ne Zha.” It’s an animated film filled with incredible visuals and an exciting story. Adel describes it as “visually stunning and emotionally rich.” The movie is about a young boy who fights against his fate to become a hero. Sounds cool, right? 😄
Another movie that left a big impression on Adel is “Big World.” Unlike action-packed movies, this one is gentle but powerful. It tells a touching story that stays with you long after the credits roll.
Adel also really admires young Chinese actors and directors. She thinks they’re doing an amazing job bringing stories to life on the big screen. She hopes to see more movies about family, identity, and growing up. She especially loves true stories that show how different young people live across China.
The 15th Beijing International Film Festival 🎞️ is happening right now in Beijing from April 18-26. It’s a great time to celebrate movies from around the world! Did you know that 2025 will mark the 130th anniversary of world cinema and the 120th anniversary of Chinese cinema? That’s a lot of movie magic! ✨
Maybe, like Adel, you’ll find a new favorite movie from another country. Who knows what adventures await you in the stories told through film? 📽️
