Description of Work:

The story I describe takes place in China, which is my real experience. I met a friend in sophomore year of high school. I had just moved to a new class. As an introvert, I dared not make friends with my classmate until I saw her watching cartoons on the computer. I felt I had found someone to talk to, so I plucked up the courage to make friends with her. However, I later learned that she was isolated and bullied in class, and I was her only friend. This friendship lasted three years. We had a lot of fun, but we also had a lot of problems. She is aesthetically fat for a body, and her hobbies and personality do not fit the definition of women in traditional standards. I am a "good girl" in the eyes of traditional Chinese parents and teachers. We grew apart after high school, not because we had a huge conflict, but because we belonged to different worlds.

I chose to create a poster for a youth comedy film about Chinese girls. This film will be made in China, because the growth and suffering of the protagonist I choose are closely related to the shackles of traditional Chinese society on women, and this kind of genre is popular in contemporary China and has successful precedents. 

The actress I chose to play the leading role is Jia Ling. She is a very famous Chinese female comedy film actress. Last year, her film "Hello, Li Huanying" earned 5.413 billion yuan at the Chinese box office.
