Question

【題目】 What can we do whenever Earth faces a disaster? Is the only solution running away from the planet in spaceships? The latest Chinese sci-fi (科幻) movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious (有雄心的) idea.

The film is based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. In the film, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. Humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. We're taking the Earth with us to run away.

What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style space films? It’s probably the special cultural background (背景). For many years, “homeland” has rooted (生根) in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old saying is luoyeguigen. It means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. There are also many ancient poems about homeland. “The season called the White Dew begins tonight / Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright”. These all show that Chinese people have the tight bond (情感紐帶) with their homeland.

What is Chinese sci-fi? Guo Fan, the film’s director said, “Chinese sci-fi is a way to express our cultural and spiritual core (精神內(nèi)核). Otherwise (否則), we’re just imitating (模仿) others and telling the same American stories.” And the film was released on February 5, 2019, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. It seems the best time to tell this Chinese sci-fi story. Anyway, to us Chinese, Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.
