We all have a story in our hearts that accompanies us through the time of growing up.
When I was a child, it was a fairy tale of a prince and a princess. It was the story of a little bull in "The Adventures of the Bull" who broke through the bondage and pursued an ideal life. When I was a teenager, it was an adventure story of walking the world with swords. Adolescence is a romantic love story of you and me, and it is to save mankind. Hero story.
The 11-year-old Afghan girl Parwana also has a story in her heart, a story about adventure and growth.
Parwana was born in Kabul. Although the house is poor and dilapidated, she has a happy home. My father is a teacher. Even if he lost a leg in the war, he is still optimistic and tenacious. He teaches her and her sister to learn knowledge every day. My mother is a writer, and my younger brother is innocent and lovely.
This is the story presented to you at the beginning of the animated film "The Breadwinner". The film is based on the best-selling novel Parvana's Waiting by Canadian author Deborah Alice, which takes place in Afghanistan in 2001.
Under the brutal rule of the Taliban, ordinary people live in dire straits and fear. In particular, women are subject to various restrictions. They are not allowed to go to school or learn culture. They are not allowed to go out without the company of their male family members.
One day, disaster struck, and Parwana's father was taken away by the Taliban. In order to make a living, Parvana cut her long hair, disguised herself as a boy and walked out of the house, carrying the burden of supporting the family on her young shoulders. While working as a coolie to support her family, she struggled to find an opportunity to rescue her father.
At the 45th Animation Annie Awards ceremony, "The Breadwinner" won the Best Independent Animated Feature Film. This is the first time that a work directed by a female director has won the Annie Award for Best Independent Animated Feature Film.
Director Nora Tomei said, "Our generation of female directors should serve as role models for the younger generation of female practitioners, our female executive producers Angelina Jolie and Mimi Polk Gitter. The same goes for Lin. We hope to achieve gender equality in the film industry, and it is the responsibility of every female director to make her presence felt, so that the next generation can be better encouraged."
Angelina Jolie was also moved by the story of the script and decided to join "The Breadwinner". She hopes that this film can make people aware of the sacrifices and sacrifices of these girls, and let more people understand that it is rain that nourishes the growth of flowers, Not thunder.
In such a dark and desperate environment, the story is Parvana's hope and seed.
At the beginning of the film, Parwana and her father set up a street stall to sell things, and her father told her the story of the Silk Road, the beauty that had happened in the land where they lived, and the splendid civilization and long history.
After her father was captured, Parwana told her brother a story about a brave young man who embarked on an unknown journey alone, and went through hardships to find the precious seeds on which the village depended for survival from the evil King of Elephants. This story is full of fantastic colors, the color of hope in Parvana's heart. When she was most afraid and helpless, she drew strength from this story.
As my father once said to Parvana in the movie, even if we have nothing, the story will always be in our hearts.
From the perspective of a child, the movie shows the joys and sorrows of an ordinary family in the war through animation. There is no straightforward accusation, but it is more powerful and moving than straightforward.
Parvana was forced to grow up, forced to go through a lot of hardship, she did not judge her own suffering, we only see her courage and persistence, tenacity and fear, and growth in despair.

With many wonderful stories, she healed the king who was betrayed by the queen, and saved more girls from the fate of being killed.
At that time I thought, I want to be a storyteller like Scheherazade and use my stories to heal others.
