Brief Explanation

The insight into the type of Chinese New Year PSA aired on CCTV is during this period are either superficially festive and happy, or emotionally general on the topic of reunion. We decided to go down a poetic route. With the quiet reminiscence of a young poet*, describing the time reversal through the poem and visuals , the audience can quietly share the genuine emotion of a young heart weeping to her lost childhood and the precious time she spent with her mother. No dramatic outcry, but emotionally resonating, this spot became a breath of fresh air in a noisy festive season. * The poem was written by a university student who left her hometown in North Eastern China to finish her studies in Hong Kong. She captured the memory of her childhood and her mother via a poetic description of time reversal. The poem won first prize in a literary competition.
