“零零后”C位出道!纪录片跟拍他们12年,展现震撼人心的成长轨迹
“没有一个孩子可以代表一代人,但每个孩子都有一代人的DNA。”
"One child cannot represent his or her entire age group, but every child has inherited some features from his or her generation."
——导演张同道
If you were born in 2000 or sometime after it, then something akin to your life's story is going to hit big screens across China on Sept 3.
Sometime in 2006, Zhang Tongdao began recording the lives of a dozen children born after 2000 from kindergarten. It ultimately zeroed in on the lives of two characters in the film, a boy named Chi Yiyang and a girl named Rourou. Both were born in 2001 and went to the same kindergarten.
Not unexpectedly, "growth" as we children of this millennium know it, too shows up in the 89-minute documentary that delicately compresses 12 years of their growing-up period, from the time they were five till the time they turned 17.
Chi was the epitome of the rebellious youth. He wanted to be a hero from a very young age and was very naughty.
He was always hitting other kids. So parents of other kids in the kindergarten asked the kindergarten owner, Li Yueer, to expel him.
But Li Yueer stood by Chi. "I think Chi is a good role model for other boys," she said.
The challenge lay in making Chi disciplined and good-mannered.
The documentary's director, Zhang Tongdao, explained why he wanted to show the movie to a nationwide audience. "I hoped that after watching it,people would understand the most important factors that can change a child in a 12-year growing period."
Years later, rugby brought in that stability to Chi's life.
2016年暑假,池亦洋入选国家队,代表中国出征世界橄榄球青年锦标赛,开幕式上他庄严地唱起《义勇军进行曲》,热血、激昂。
他告诉《零零后》执行导演喻溟:“现在我觉得保护别人也是一种英雄。”
"I now feel that those who protect others are heroes, too," a more matured Chi later told Yu Ming, executive director of the documentary.
"I used to be the forward on the football field, but I'm now a baseliner and must protect my team."
Though they went to the same kindergarten, they had very different lives.
Rourou's mother always dressed her up like a princess. And like other princesses in Disney stories, she, too, experiences difficulties while growing up. She was isolated by her friends.
She encountered difficulties learning mathematics and shed tears when learning them.
Math sums are like poisonous snakes in the forest.
要成绩还是留天性;选当下还是等未来?柔柔家爹妈唇枪舌战,各执一词。
"She has to get out tonight!I don't want to see her anymore. "
And they are growing up in an era that witnessed China's rapid economic development.
在60后导演张同道看来,凭借年龄的优势,居高临下地俯视这一代新生力量是多么地野蛮傲慢。他们比我们想象中要强很多。
Watch the documentary, then you will realize how foolish it is to look down upon the coming generation merely because we, at older ages, look more experienced. They are much more stronger than we imagined.
