Look at the cultural gap between China and France

The teacher asked us to watch the movie "Angels Love Beauty". After watching it, we used Hofstede's cultural dimension to compare the differences between Chinese and Western cultures. After watching it for the first time, I didn't feel much, and I didn't have any impression of the plot. I felt that the love of beauty was a bit mysterious. After watching it the second time, I have a certain impression, and coupled with the knowledge I have learned, I can really find some fragments that reflect the differences between Chinese and Western cultures.
The French have a strong sense of time. The distinction between weekends and workdays is clear. The most influential thing is that the tramp rejected the charity of loving beauty because he has to rest on weekends. In the film, the individualism of the French is obvious, although at home Only Aimei and her father are left. She does not live with her father. Instead, she lives in the apartment she rents. She acts quietly by herself and does not reveal her intention to do things to anyone. She is also alone if she succeeds. Happy and don't share with others. This is quite different from the Chinese collectivism. There are many details worthy of scrutiny in the film, which require us to appreciate and discover with our heart.

Meanwhile, in a 5th-floor flat, 28 Avenue Trudaine, Paris 9, returning from his best friend's funeral, Eugène Colère erased his name from his address book.

    Narrator: September 28th, 1997. It is exactly 11am. At the funfair, near the ghost train, the marshmallow twister is twisting. Meanwhile, on a bench in Villette Square, Félix Lerbier learns there are more links in his brain than atoms in the universe. Meanwhile, at the Sacré Coeur, the nuns are practising their backhand. The temperature is 24°C, humidity 70%, atmospheric pressure 990 millibars.
