As the only female directors, Zhang Ziyi, a group of male directors, is eye-catching. It also proves the strength of actress Zhang Ziyi as a director with a poem dedicated to astronauts, which is a big surprise for this film.

At present, there is a howling wind with a great temperature difference between day and night, and behind it is the raging loess swept all over the sky.
Here, it is the research base of 1969 "Long March 1" rocket engine.
On the way to lead the people of China into space, a group of people fought here.
As another huge explosion pierced the sky, engine designer Shi Ruhong and his team experienced another round of failure.
If you can't find the fire point, you will never solve the engine design problem. Shi Ruhong decided to observe the whole process of electric fire with his eyes in the next experiment.
Shi Ruhong is just an ordinary father who jumps out of the space research with "tight time and heavy task". He lives in this yellow land with his wife and a pair of children.
Today, my son was punished for going out to fight. The father, who is good at mediating family conflicts, pretended to hit his son, only to knock him on the leg.
It can be said that the mother allowed her children to sit down to eat, only to find that her son was fighting because other children said that "the father who made firecrackers could be killed at any time."
Children are the simplest and most sensitive, so Shi Ruhong told his son that his father's job is to write poems in the sky with magical tools every day.
However, after the next experiment, the father who wrote the poem never came back.
The son who can't find his father is crying. From the perspective of children, he observed the daily life of the first generation of astronauts bit by bit, and also recorded another secret about persistence and loss with his bumpy life experience.
My son doesn't know, my mother is also a famous "Master Yu" in the institute-a skilled powder carving worker, who is responsible for the shaping of propellant for gunpowder engines. This is a high-risk job that cannot be replaced by machines.
Nowadays, a mother who is both a father and a mother should not only shoulder the responsibility of this family alone, but also fight for her persistence on the "battlefield" that may be sacrificed at any time.
At this time, a strong female astronaut came out of the screen and told the romantic imagination of the first generation of astronauts about the future and the universe on the grounds that his father wrote poems for his son.

How did actress Zhang Ziyi turn herself into such a "master of depression" despite the gains and losses for her dreams, her efforts for scientific research and the humiliation of her family?
All vividness comes from her precise grasp of emotions.
The joy of life lies in the interaction with children.
Mother pretends to be angry by playing the red face, but the smile on her lips after education is the simplest happiness in a hard life.
Yan mother's "anger" is the outbreak of her son after her husband's death.
She left her crazy son in the heavy rain, but it only took a second to reopen the door and call the child back. On the surface, her anger is hard to get rid of, but in fact, it is all her mother's helplessness and unbearable, and these emotions are subtly conveyed in one action.
The "sadness" of fate is the forbearance of her husband after his death.
In order not to let the child know the truth, she can only hide her sadness until the moment when the lie is exposed, and she can burst into tears and release all the collapses.
The pleasure of tossing and turning is the liberation of reading Qian Fan.
Neither a female astronaut nor a mother is an easy role, and all the efforts of Master Yu are condensed into the simplest smile at the moment of rocket launch, engraved in the memory of history.
She ate up the bitterness of life and gained the long-awaited sweetness.
At this moment, there is no international movie star Zhang Ziyi, only Master Yu, who is in high spirits, because as an actress, "She" completely turned herself into "She" more than 50 years ago.
The most remarkable thing is that this mutual achievement inside and outside the screen was created by female directors and Zhang Ziyi himself.
As soon as the short film Poetry started shooting, Zhang Ziyi used a long lens to show the living environment of the first generation of astronauts. There are only children on the yellow land, and the shocking noise from time to time may take away a close relative of the child.
In order to restore the "hard and happy life" described by Academician Qi Faren, in addition to setting the scene, it is also necessary to show the local harsh climatic conditions and extremely limited material level. The arrangement of wind and rain, the setting of airplane seats, costume props and even food and language are all details that must be carefully checked, and they are also the fundamental source of the whole story.
It is this intention that makes this poem mature and complete on the visual level.
On this basis, director Zhang Ziyi also used memories and the last poem as a short film to "keep warm".
When Huang Xuan and Zhang Ziyi read poems for their children as parents, they used the life track of the characters to prove that "rockets are for dreams to abandon their own things, life is for burning, and death is for verifying life."
Delicate and complex emotions flow out in the dribs and drabs when parents and children get along, and gather at the intersection of life and death, which contains astronauts' infinite imagination of the universe and parents' infinite hope for future generations.

In fact, at the beginning of the preparation of "My Father and I", as the only female directors in the four teams, Zhang Ziyi made clear his goal-to shoot a story dominated by women, because there should not be only men in the group photo of his father.
In eight months, Zhang Ziyi interviewed several generations of astronauts and created more than a dozen versions of manuscripts, just to dig a true and delicate touch on the road of flying.
Finally, Xu Liping, a beautician, inspired her. This creative team, from director, cameraman, screenwriter to editor, climbed mountains and mountains together, overcame many difficulties, broke through the traditional passion routine with a gentle attitude, and successfully revived the story of the architectural age with another look.
It is this power from women that makes Master Yu, an actress who tries her best and female directors who challenges herself, change from "her" to "them".
It not only provides a gender-balanced color for parents, but also makes the shining female power shine in this quiet moment.
Of course, this balance ultimately points to the dedication and fearless view of life and death flowing in the blood of the Chinese nation.
It has never been a special case of a certain gender, but a moral integrity engraved in the bones of every Chinese son and daughter in the face of national justice and the call of the times.
Because, the development of this nation has proved that "dust is the beginning of the universe, and the small ordinary is the beginning of greatness", and children and the future bearing hope are the beginning of ordinary parents creating a new world.
Our nation, since ancient times, has been well aware of the endless power of Gong Yu to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and now it is a thousand miles away from the rapid victory of all walks of life. This fearless courage is the most precious genetic code handed down by our parents.
It is also under the inspiration of this national integrity that Zhang Ziyi expressed his will with "poetry", and completed a gentle record from a female perspective, divorced from tradition and full of new ideas, and wrote a vivid poem linking the past and the future, our parents and us.
