With You tells the story of the Chinese civilians in the fight against the pandemic. It depicts ten simple but touching stories during the pandemic based on the real situation and characters. There were medical workers, military doctors, common takeaway deliveryman, vehicle volunteers, construction workers, disease control, community and public security personnel, young volunteers and workers of mask production. These ordinary people constitute the main force in all walks of life across the country, and have made indelible contributions to the fight against the pandemic.
2049
By Taiwan: Taiwan Creative Content Agency
Genre: Thriller驚悚/Horror恐怖
| The year 1949 has been a year of global development for Chinese people and after 70 years, the Chinese race still holds a certain influence in the world now in 2019. The background of “2049” is set in the future, a 100 years after 1949, with its motive of linking together different foreign nations by the Chinese industry. “2049” covers three mini stories, including “Perfect Prediction” for human beings controlling destiny through big data; “Hedgehog Rule” for finding pain in life through new consultative techniques, and “Conversation of Happiness” talking about whether communication aids can improve interpersonal relationships. The above is expected to present a imagination of the future in the areas of daily lives, technology, education, medical and even global situations. |
