Talk to you about the story behind the shooting
The Amazing Mom
The general director's note - Jiang Youxi
This is a documentary about how online mothers educate their children at the moment of inner volume, and the thinking and self-growth that accompany the educational process. The concept of our production is to do a practical fieldwork and anthropological research, but the field we investigate and shoot is a family: Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Kunming, Dali, Los Angeles, Singapore, Taipei, the scope of research is wider, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Fujian, Henan, Japan, Thailand, Finland.... From this, we can see that different regions, because of economic development, cultural and educational systems, have different influences on the education of mothers, and the education of mothers affects and determines the growth of this generation of children.
China's basic education has repeatedly ranked first in the international evaluation system PISA in recent years. Among them, the teaching system is on the one hand, and the credit to the family, especially the mothers, is absolutely great. In the vast majority of Chinese families, the mother is the one who manages everything, they not only protect food and clothing, pay love and care, but also study education policies, observe children's strengths, formulate development routes, learn various educational theories, and are the most loyal supporters, companions, planners, cheerers, and engines that accompany children to the age of eighteen. And in this era of competition, they often have their own jobs, careers, to benefit society, dedicate themselves to their families, maintain their beauty, and take time to do things that nourish themselves and improve themselves, making themselves stronger. Such Chinese women, no matter what she does or does not do, how many flaws or holes or holes under the strong appearance, even the rolling belt climbs, they are very remarkable! I admire them so much!
Education is actually an extremely sensitive topic, chicken babies or Buddhists, all-round mothers and sheep-herding mothers, in the pluralistic system choice, which way to take is the best solution? Including whether to teach according to aptitude or teach without class in the current education reform, any topic may cause fierce conflicts.
When we have a deep stop in so many families and looked at a variety of different choices, we feel that there are actually two major background determinants in this country or region, one is that a country or region, whether education is inward-bound, whether the competition is fierce, is determined by the economic model of this country and region, the way of class transition and the degree of difficulty. So the East Asian volume, the American volume. In this big context, every family, every mother, will make their own choices. The second big background is the cultural tradition of Chinese. Chinese talk about plum blossom fragrance from the bitter cold, and that the sky will descend on the Si people, so that kind of hard work, perseverance, and hard work are infiltrated into the genes of Chinese. Perhaps it is the land of China, which has suffered many disasters and difficulties in history, and the self-driving force of freedom from hunger still exists.
Speaking of the film, the dozen or so mothers we chose are wonderful and diverse: there are magic chicken blood mothers, there are also fairy mothers who completely let go, there are those who give up the international public route, and they will also see the high-end education route, but because of the epidemic, education is unsustainable, there are returnee mothers of top international Internet manufacturers, there are also civil servant mothers, there are mainland bride mothers who are trying to survive in Taipei street noodle restaurants, and there are Also American Chinese mothers who aim to train figure skating children in the Olympic Games. There are primary school students and mothers under Singapore's cruel diversion system, and there are also financial mothers who freely put their children in boarding, each with their own wonderful independent financial mothers... Education is not only the step of further education, it is the course of life, it is cultural immersion, it is the heart that affects the heart, and it can be all-encompassing. For example, there is a story in which a single mother finds what she loves but is strongly resisted by her rebellious son, she said, sometimes your talent is hidden in your pain, if this is harmful to your son, then this injury is also the growth he must experience. Go for his psychological theory! Eventually the new family blended well. A Dali mother said, I always have to put myself in the first order, only if I am good, I will naturally give the best to the children ... , and when the school bully mother meets the scum son, you will see that the rationality and cultivation of a real school bully is that she knows what is not allowed to push, she is anxious, but she can still control herself not to push.
In the process of research, we often hear young mothers say that after reading a lot of contradictory educational theories, they really don't know how to become mothers, and there is a lot of confusion and anxiety. I hope that our series will give some references, which may make you feel related, learn from, or you don't like, but I believe that this set of films will give more mothers strength and determination, so that you insist on doing what you believe is right. Because, after reading so much, I believe that education is an extremely individual thing, there is no best education, what adults have to do is to become a better version of themselves, believe in themselves, and believe in children, everything will be the best arrangement.
I would like to say that we interviewed the children, which I like very, very much (although there is not much space used), I found that the same thing, the mother and the child may have a completely different view, the child's perspective is very interesting, and, very touching to me, many times, the child loves the mother more than we think! Yes, people always talk about mothers paying for their children, but children also tolerate mothers a lot, children understand and love their mothers, but they sometimes can't reach and can't do what you want.
A very highly recommended bridge segment is the final monologue of each episode, be sure to see the final monologue segment! Almost every mother will cry in this part, they say to their mother, to their children, to the camera, to say the love and regret that has not been the opportunity to express, the knots and wishes, the pain of not being valued when they were young, seeing the 40+ mother, saying such words to their mother, only to know that we are longing for the love of the mother, the concern of the mother, the recognition of the mother until we are old. When recording this session, almost every time the director will also cry. Chinese is such a nation, although we rarely express it directly, but the deep connection, love and concern between relatives is so exciting and moving.
May this film bring you enlightenment, release, let you feel love and abundance, grateful to meet your mothers, witness their stories and landscapes on this journey! This spring, no matter where you are, may you face the sea and blossom in spring!
