Macau independent films are films shot by a group of Macau artists, carrying rich Macau culture. Since the 1970s, screenings have been held continuously. Now, taking advantage of the tenth anniversary of Macau's return to China, these vivid images are once again put on the screen. The main venue for this screening event is the Abelia Contemporary Art Center. As one of the four universities in Beijing that has the Macau Students Association, w88 casino has become a sub-exhibition area. The screening event mainly featured the Macao independent film "Ao·Tu".
The organizer introduces the relevant background before the event
The movie "Macao·Tu" shown in this tour introduces a special group in Macao - the Macanese, that is, the mixed descendants of the Portuguese and Chinese who originally lived in Macao. From their appearance and living customs, we can see the intersection of China and the West. Their existence is a living proof before and after Macao's return. However, with the rapid development of Macau after its return, people have gradually forgotten their past history, and their current situation has become increasingly worrying. The camera penetrates into the small details of the lives of the Macanese people, and records their living conditions and everything they have done to retain this special intersection culture.
“Our children and the current generation have mostly forgotten our specialness, and they would rather be abroad than come back to reunite with the Macanese.” In the movie, a sixty-year-old man said, with deep worry on his face. "Every time I come back, there are great changes. When I left, Macau was much shabbier than it is now, and there were very few jobs available, so I had to go abroad. I have been to Brazil, Australia, and Canada over the years, but I come back every year to see my family and friends, as well as the Macanese people who are still here. As long as my physical strength allows, I will come back."
Patois, as the usual way of communication among the Macanese people, has been gradually forgotten. Now the younger generation of Macanese have only the memory of the older generation speaking it when they were children. The film spends a lot of time describing how the eighth and ninth generations of Macanese held activities to remind people not to forget their culture. "Culture is a very precious thing, but often only people of our generation know how to cherish it." The old man said emotionally at the end of the film. He has Chinese yellow skin and black hair, but has a pair of blue eyes. "Although I don't know if this culture will disappear after we die, but we can only do it to the last moment."
During the screening event, the reporter randomly interviewed the students who came to watch the film. When talking about why she came to participate in this event, Lu Jiayi from the w88 casino of English said that she had been to Macau before and was very interested in the culture there, so she wanted to come and see it. She saw a movie with local Macau characteristics today and felt that she had gained a lot.
Chen Jiamin, president of the Macau Students' Union, said that the reason why they chose this movie to screen is because it not only reflects the huge changes in Macau before and after the handover, but more importantly, it has the most unique characteristics of Macau. The Macanese cultural group is rare and precious to Macao and deserves our understanding and respect. She also introduced that this screening event is a preliminary event for the 10th anniversary of Macau's return to China. After that, w88 casino will also hold a photo exhibition related to the 10th anniversary of Macau's return, as well as karaokeOKContests, parties, etc. As a Macao student at the University of International w88 and Economics, she hopes to spread Macao’s characteristics and history to students in other parts of the country through these activities, so that they can better understand Macao. This is also the best commemoration of Macao’s return to the motherland.
