Later, Chen Huiling was admitted to Beiyi girl. She was very happy. The only pain was that her parents didn't agree with each other. Her father often had affairs.

feeling

Chen Huiling began to fall in love in the first grade of junior high school. After she came out of society, she had an unforgettable love affair. She had been with a lighting engineer for many years, but her partner died of illness in 2012, which made her almost collapse.

Her husband confessed to her at the youth killing banquet. That year, she fell in love. Also that year, she suffered from cervical cancer, and before surgery, she found herself pregnant.

Character evaluation

In the school teacher's mouth, Chen Huiling is a serious and outstanding child. Chen Huiling is a good storyteller. She can always tell warm and touching stories incisively and vividly and bring resonance to people. Her works are delicate and romantic. She directs them from the audience's point of view. Through her lens, she can always bring the audience a different perspective of life and the power to warm people's hearts. Her works shake people's hearts (comments of Tanjiang times and event365 life magazine).

Chen Huiling is sensitive enough and open enough. Her ears are keen enough to grasp the fragments of stories from the air, so that the themes can be found everywhere. It may not be enough for a director to have a variety of themes in his mind. He also needs to know where to put these stories to be feasible and truly implement his ideas. This is the advantage of Chen Huiling. She can always find the scene that is closest to the story and makes it more vivid. Chen Huiling's another specialty is that she can get the most direct and real reaction of actors to people or emotions. She can always tap and develop excellent new actors (review of Clappin magazine).

The TV series "your child is not your child" uses the surreal concept to convey the parent-child problem. It is packaged from the perspective of science fiction and satirizes the current education system and parent-child relationship. Education and family are the daily life of human beings. If it is presented in the ordinary narrative way, no pain points will not be remembered by the audience. In the film, there are only the black and white faces of the actors, and the lip shape of reading poetry, just like without vocal cords. No matter how hard you try, you can't hear their voices. Although they are silent, they are sonorous and powerful.
