Color of Memory
About This Novel
As a film director and writer, Peng Xiaolian has long been concerned about the spiritual world and personal relationships of the older generation of scholars and literati, and has continuously written articles, shot videos, conducted exclusive interviews for them, and has even become friends and colleagues in daily life. This stems not only from Peng Xiaolian's personal family influence, but also from her choices and interests after years of studying abroad and directing career. In a non-fictional way, this book writes a long article about "memory" through four groups of characters: Zhao Dan, Huang Zongying, Jia Zhifang, family members and Shanghai street massage parlor owners. It contains not only the grand narrative of historical changes, but also the detailed speech, choices, love and hate of each living life. Overall, it constitutes a long scroll about memory: it is not only Peng Xiaolian's personal memory, but also a memory of the country and the nation.

Beautiful Shanghai
I also like to see the 2004 works, but I didn't know who took them before.
Director's Notes + Memoirs
I like the part about making movies. The description is very visual, as if you can see the light and shadow shaking in front of your eyes.
