Boxing Day

Boxing Day was shot in my hometown, Chongqing, China.  I've always been obsessed with hospitals as a space that simultaneously house trauma and healing, and I have many memories of hospitals from my childhood. And in this hospital and dreamcore atmosphere created by Boxing Day, beautiful things - innocence, childhood, tenderness, dreams, lovely people ...... glow in the gloom shrouded by pain - that's what I want to bring to the world. 

For me, love and beauty have always been the most worthwhile values to put into practice in a world full of misfortunes and dystopias; yet at the same time, we seem to need to repeatedly navigate through the sufferings of life: how to act? The inspiration for this story was born when I wrote, "Every scab comes from a love" - love brings healing, but loving also requires enduring pain. The tender and powerful human heart will not stop loving because it is afraid of pain.

《拳击日》拍摄于我的老家，中国重庆。我一直痴迷医院这个同时容纳着创伤和治愈的空间，我的童年有许多关于医院的记忆。而在《拳击日》创造的医院和梦核氛围里，美好的事物--纯真、童年、温柔、梦想、可爱的人......在被病痛笼罩的阴郁中发光——这就是我想给世界带来的东西。

对我来说，爱与美一直是这个充满不幸和荒诞的世界里最值得付诸努力实践的价值；但同时，我们却似乎需要反复在生活的受苦之中领悟：如何行动？故事的灵感诞生于我写下"每一次结痂都来源于一次爱"——爱会带来疗愈，但去爱也需要忍耐疼痛。人类温柔而有力量的心灵，不要因为怕痛就停止爱。
