The Chinese Film Festival at the Cinema Majestic that took place towards the end of August 2016 saw the appearance of a contrasting and faintly bizarre conjunction of cultures. 17th century France suddenly sporting red Chinese lanterns. The twinning of the town of Richelieu with that of Wuzhen in the PRC gives this a piquant relevance, as do the young visitors who recently came from South Korea, as symbolised by the national flag in the second picture below.
The poster for the film festival features the graceful face of the actress Gong Li who is the heorine of the film Raise the Red Lantern that tells the melancholy role of humble womenfolk in ancient warlord China.
我们有没有中国的读者？
我們有沒有中國的讀者？
