Trauma Healing and Collective Empathy: Multidimensional Reflections on the Creation of the Hundred Flowers Award-Winning Film Hi, Mom
Abstract
The film Hi, Mom fully demonstrates the power of artistic imagination through its unique time-space overlap. The two-way ques
tioning and answering in the film, whether from mother to daughter or from daughter to mother, are characterized by pure selflessness. This
provides a dual psychological healing for the daughter's inferiority complex in real life and the trauma of "the child's desire to care for their
parents before it's too late." In addition to the gaze and mutual gaze between daughter and mother, the enthusiastic attention of the audience
also enables personal life and emotional expression to evoke a collective spiritual resonance. In terms of dramatic genre, the film combines the
seriousness of tragedy with the absurdity of comedy, making it a tragicomedy. Its success is inseparable from the influence and groundwork
laid by CCTV Spring Festival Gala sketches. Rooted in everyday life, the film possesses the artistic value of illuminating daily existence,
inspiring audiences to create beauty and seek the meaning of life. This is also one of the important reasons it was honored with the Hundred
Flowers Award for Outstanding Film.
