Silver

Traditional Chinese society has a pretty strict requirement for women, that is only as a wife and a mother, your life can be considered as complete. I’ve read a story from social media, A 28-year-old girl living in Beijing hasn't been home in three years just to avoid getting married. She has a good job with a rich salary, but her life is still defined by her father as bad. The only way to satisfy her father is to get married and have children, then she can fulfill her mission as a daughter. In her early 20s’, she has been introduced by her father to an older man than her by 10 years and has no job, and to a divorced man with children, even when she refuses. In her father's eyes, reaching 30 years old buried all her “qualities,” and as long as he could marry her off, the background of the man was irrelevant. I was shocked and decided to do something to speak out for those women who are trapped in marriage, and so this film was born.
