MORE ABOUT THE EVENT: This private showing of a film by author and director Hong Ying presents the story of a teenage boy growing up in post-Mao Chongqing. It delicately plays out the tale of a relationship between the boy and a nurse, the most memorable person in his young life. Coupling the poetic and romantic tale with a depiction of a rapidly urbanising Chongqing from the 1970s to the 1990s, Hong Ying leaves viewers with an indelible impression of the broken love, dreams and fate of the protagonist and his muse. The film was awarded the Best Screenplay in a Feature at the 2023 Next Generation Indie Film Awards. It was also selected to show at the 2023 China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festivals.
MORE ABOUT THE DIRECTOR AND AUTHOR: Hong Ying is an acclaimed author of many novels including, "K: The Art of Love" and a best-selling autobiography, "Daughter of the River". "Moonlight Warrior" is her first film.
