First, because of Fujian, I have lived and worked here for a while, met many friends and colleagues, and always maintained a deep friendship. The second reason, of course, is that because of film, especially the Youth Short Film Festival, I think I should take on this mission. At the same time, I can take this opportunity to communicate with young filmmakers and make suggestions for their start-up, and at the same time, I can feel their youthful energy and vitality. ”
