Inspiration
After watching the movie Barbie with my friend, I interviewed her to gain insight into her perspective on the current status of women in Chinese society. Through our discussion, I discovered that it is not a society designed for women. At this stage in Chinese society, the low empowerment of women is causing some to lack the desire for reproduction.
Define
I created this 2D short film in the form of an animated documentary. Thus, I recorded the conversations with my friend through simulated interviews, and used its content as the reverse propulsion for the main thread of my project. I extracted her opinions on the phenomenon of many choosing to be unmarried and childless as background audio, expressing my feelings about this conversation in an abstract form.

Poem
I still will be living inside that box
But with a little window
It's time
You should be my sunrise
The one in the mirror
It's you,
It's you .......

Summary
I have explored my potential ability in 2D animation production. This was an enjoyable experience for me to express my feelings and thoughts through an experimental animated documentary format. Looking ahead, I am eager to leverage my proficiency in 2D animation and storytelling, applying these skills to a myriad of future projects.
