The 15th Beijing International Film Festival kicked off this week, celebrating global storytelling ✨—and it’s caught the attention of Gen Z cinephiles worldwide! Among them is Furuisai, a German student who fell in love with Chinese films while living in Shanghai. From the fiery rebellion of 'Ne Zha' to the heartwarming humor of 'Hi, Mom' and the intergalactic thrills of 'The Wandering Earth,' he’s all about China’s diverse cinematic universe. 🚀
"'Ne Zha' hit me hard," Furuisai shared. "It’s about defying stereotypes and rewriting your destiny—something our generation really connects with." 🌟 He praised Chinese filmmakers for blending tradition with futuristic visions, calling their work a "bridge between cultures."
With 2025 marking major milestones for global and Chinese cinema (130 and 120 years, respectively!), Furuisai hopes to see more collabs between Chinese creators and international talents. "Stories like these don’t just entertain—they unite us," he said. 🌍🎥
