导演阐述

中国经济在过去三十年的时间里飞速发展。房地产投资热带来房价持续上涨。这种影响从北京这样的超级大都市波及到了江苏镇江这样的“三线”城市——一个长三角沿岸的小城，也是《腐草为萤》故事发生的地方。中国人是不幸的，拥有自己的房子是一件看起来那么不可或缺的事情。于是，人的欲望和现实之间的不平衡所造成的悲剧不可避免。

《腐草为萤》并不旨在简单地呈现生存的艰难，而是利用这一场家庭危机来反映大陆普通民众的生存现状以及他们无力改变的真实原因。

Director’s Statement

China’s economy has been rapidly developing over the past three decades. The real estate investment fever has led to a continuous rise of the property price, which influences not only megacities like Beijing, but also small towns like Zhenjiang along the Yangtze Delta, where our story is set. Unfortunately, owning a house is so indispensable for Chinese people that the tragedy is inevitably constructed by the contradiction of one’s desire and the reality.

剧情简介

武阳出生自一个不仅生存艰难，且无力改变这种艰难的家庭。在他的女朋友怀孕之后，两人不得不因社会舆论的压力结了婚。他的工作不足以支撑他另寻住处，更不可能让他买得起属于自己的房子。所以他只能带着妻子和自己的父母住在狭小的公寓里，寄人篱下。不久之后，孩子出生了，情况变得更糟。

Synopsis

Wu Yang comes from a family that not only lives hard, but also lacks the capability to change the situation. He has to marry her pregnant girlfriend for the social convention; he doesn’t have a decent job to afford a new apartment, so Wu Yang, together with his wife, has to stay with his parents in a small apartment. A few months later, the birth of their child makes things worse.

“季下三月，腐草为萤。

“在潮湿温热的江南小镇，亲人们在生活困境中彼此无言。导演以及其克制的手段去试图去构建一个家庭情景，在暗流之内体现“希冀”的脆弱与单薄。”

“In summer, grass turns into fireflies. In this muggy weather, the family, which is stuck in life dilemma have nothing to say, so does this South River town. In this film, the director uses a very conservative approach to create a realistic family scene, which reflects this fragile hope coming from inside.”
