A Brief Introduction to the Movie Chasing Light

The film mainly tells the story that Miao Boying, 20, was admitted to Beijing Women's Normal School with the first place in Changsha after the May 4th Movement, and then met He Mengxiong in Beijing. Under the influence of Li Dazhao, both of them joined the early organizations in China. Miao Boying fought in the front line of workers' movement, women's movement and students' movement in Beijing, Hunan and Shanghai. After the July 15th coup, Miao Boying sneaked into Shanghai with her children. Miao Boying's health went from bad to worse by doing the underground work of the party in the white terror. In order to avoid the enemy's pursuit, she hid in the cold Suzhou River and got typhoid fever. Unfortunately, she died at the age of 30. Two years later, He Mengxiong also died heroically in Shanghai.

It not only reproduces the young blood of the martyrs who died for their country and the revolutionary spirit of fighting for democracy and freedom, but also presents the short and magnificent lives of Miao Boying and He Mengxiong, the "heroes", to the public.

"Looking for truth and looking for light needs to cross thousands of difficulties and dangers." In Li Dazhao's firm voice, we saw the turmoil of the times and the complexity of the environment. The preview shows the historical picture of revolutionaries being persecuted in repeated movements and standing up to their ideals again and again. Cut off the long braids, eradicate feudalism and break the shackles. Miao Boying ran for women's liberation; Resisting oppression, protesting exploitation and pursuing equality, He Mengxiong persisted in fighting for labor rights and interests. They seize every opportunity to wake people up for tenacious struggle, but they still try to find light in the dark. "chasing the light" is the most appropriate synonym for their revolutionary youth.

Director Dou Qi's concern for the women's world has brought such a great revolutionary woman a full image and unique temperament, which not only captures the "majestic atmosphere" of Miao Boying's participation in the revolution, but also captures the "small bridge flowing water" between her and her lover He Mengxiong. The details of the film reflect the tolerance and delicacy of female directors.
