COVID-19 Crushes Dreams in China’s ‘Hollywood’ 🎬💔

Hengdian Town, often dubbed the ‘Orient Hollywood’ 🎥, is home to the world’s largest film studio in Zhejiang Province. Famous for producing thousands of movies and TV shows, it’s also a magnet for dreamers—known as ‘Hengpiao’—who flock here hoping to become stars. 🌟

But the pandemic hit harder than a plot twist. When COVID-19 halted productions in 2020, these aspiring actors lost their shot at fame and income. Many turned to delivery driving 🛵 just to survive. Yet, despite the setbacks, their dreams haven’t faded. 💪

‘It’s tough, but I’m not giving up,’ said one Hengpiao, echoing the resilience of thousands. They’re still waiting for their big break, proving that even in crisis, hope lights up like a film set. 💡
