The Frog Prince (青蛙王子) is a short film that commemorates Qing Ming Festival (or Tomb Sweeping Day) and its spirit of remembrance. This is a story of a boy who grapples with material temptations and low self-esteem; and his father, who has nothing to give except priceless life lessons and morals that the boy would inherit for good.
This film commemorates the essence of remembrance that is embodied in Qing Ming Festival (清明节), or Tomb Sweeping Day – a traditional Chinese festival during which families pay their respects to their ancestors. With this forming the backdrop of the film, the work was also deeply inspired by a Chinese saying, “木有本,水有源”, which translates as “every tree has its roots, every river has its source”. It highlights the spirit of remembering and honouring the values imparted by our parents that shape who we are today – including our everyday habits and the choices we make.
