导演阐述

每个时代总会有一些个体被遗忘。而我想要拍的就是讲述这些个体生命记忆的电影。

这部电影始于我和我家人的生活。我曾经拍摄过一些家人的采访，听他们讲自己真实的人生故事。这些故事里藏着某种特别动人的生命力，我深深被这些故事所打动，这其中就有我母亲的故事。

我父母那一代人大多出生于六七十年代，在八十年代开始走出校园步入社会。他们经历了那场剧烈的社会变革和理想主义的破灭，随后他们的个体记忆渐渐被时代抹去。如今，他们已经人到中年，只是每天做些平凡的工作，过着单调的生活。在漫长的岁月里，他们中很多人的生活也渐渐崩坏了，而有些人坚守了下来。他们很平凡，他们习惯了被这个时代遗忘，但他们仍顽强捍卫着自己的生活。

他们反复告诉我，爱与希望真的存在。

Director’s Statement

There are individuals who have been forgotten in every era, and what I want to shoot is a film about these individuals’ life memories.

This movie started with the life of my family. I have had some interviews with my families and listened to them telling their stories. I was deeply touched by these stories, including the story of my mother. Most of my parents' generation was born in 1960s and 70s, left the campus and entered the society in 80s. They experienced the dramatic social transformation and the disillusionment of idealism, and their individual memories were gradually erased by the times. Nowadays, they have reached their middle age, engaging in ordinary jobs and living monotonous lives. During the long years, many of their lives collapsed, and some of them survived. They are extremely ordinary, and they have been used to being forgotten by this era, but they tenaciously defended their lives.

They told me repeatedly that love and hope actually existed.

剧情简介

Synopsis

The story tells about a female teacher’s life in a small city in China. Today’s China has already past the time of the Red Revolutions. Those idealistic students from the 80s have reached their middle age, accepting their ordinary lives. Ms. Yao was one of them. Recently in her school, there were two teachers who had an affair and eloped together. It reminded Ms. Yao of her own life. So many things were flashing back, those memories and experiences that came from a same generation.

“这是一首关于‘回归平庸’的诗。曾经骄傲的母亲对于生活淡淡的悲伤渗透在影片的骨髓里。‘我’作为旁观者，见证了一段浪漫的终结，也在最后看到了另一段哀怨的开始。”

It is a poem about ‘return to ordinary’. The mom who used to be arrogant is now unsatisfied about life. Her misery permeates in the film. ‘I’, as a bystander, have witnessed the ending of romance and the beginning of another sorrow.
