OUTCRY?, 10min., China
Directed by Yuan Geng Zhang
The micro background of the story draws inspiration from Xu Lizhi's experiences, serving as a reference point. The character of the son in the film is a tribute to Xu Lizhi. He and his mother were once assembly line workers in a factory. However, after the unbearable agony of his son's suicide, the mother, who had been aging in the factory, lost her pillar of life. In an era of China's strict one-child policy, the helplessness and anguish of families with a single child are unimaginable. This policy extinguished the cherished family lineage that Chinese people hold dear. The archetype of a Chinese mother often embodies self-sacrifice, and the death of her son completely derails her pursuit of hard work and life. The mother in the film experiences anger, regret, and sorrow over the loss of her child, yet she can only confront the traces left behind in her son's former residence, shouting in bewilderment, unable to comprehend the reasons behind it all
