The globally anticipated 91st Academy Awards have finally been announced! This year, the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film went to "Bao," directed by Domee Shi, Pixar's first Chinese-Canadian female director. This heartwarming film has touched the hearts of countless Chinese people worldwide and has earned unanimous acclaim from the film industry.
"Bao" is the first animated short film directed by a Chinese person. Inspired by the experiences of Chinese immigrant children in Toronto, Canada, the short film explores the mother-daughter relationship from the perspective of a Chinese immigrant, telling the story of a lonely, empty-nest Chinese woman. She steams a batch of baozi (steamed buns), and one of them magically comes to life, bringing her warmth. It is a poignant story about family affection.
Domee Shi was born in Chongqing, China, and is an only child who moved to Toronto with her parents at the age of two. She graduated from Sheridan College in Canada with a degree in animation; her father was a teacher at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, and her mother holds a doctorate from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. She specifically spoke about the significant influence her parents had on her growth: "As the child of Chinese immigrants, you are always pushed by your parents to work harder, and you yourself are indeed constantly striving to live up to their efforts and expectations."
Seeing the success of this director makes us realize that immigrating to Canada is actually a very happy experience. Canada is a multicultural immigrant nation with residents from all over the world. Canada has been rated as the most livable place in the world for many consecutive years, ranking first in the world for quality of life. Canadians have a high average life expectancy, small wealth gaps, no disparity between officials and citizens, and relationships between people are more equal and harmonious. Enjoying life is more important than anything else; this is a common belief among Canadians. Some say that arriving in Canada is the true beginning of enjoying life.
Canada is a major immigrant nation that has always encouraged multicultural traditions and policies. It is inclusive and benevolent; one out of every six Canadians was not born in Canada. In Canada, one can enjoy the cuisine, entertainment, and unique cultures of almost every ethnicity. It is believed that in the future, Canada will attract more people to immigrate here by virtue of its own advantages.
