Hi, Mom, directed by Jia Ling, 【小题1】(beat) the 2019 American superhero film Avengers: Endgame at China's box office for months.

Hi, Mom, received the【小题2】(high) rating in an audience-satisfaction survey【小题3】(conduct) by the China Film Art Research Center covering films screened during the week-long Spring Festival holiday starting on Feb 11.

The comic film stars Jia Ling as【小题4】devoted daughter, who, deeply saddened by her mother's death in an accident, finds herself【小题5】(transport) back to 1981, where she meets her mother and attempts【小题6】 (improve) the latter's fate by using ideas from the future.

Hi, Mom, which Jia Ling described as a tribute to her real-life mother【小题7】passed away tragically around two decades ago,【小题8】(bring) many moviegoers to tears. It also sparked online conversations on the topic of mother-daughter affection【小题9】 netizens sharing old photos of their own mothers at a young age. Thanks to Hi, Mom’s powerful【小题10】(perform) to date, Jia Ling is already China’s most commercially successful female filmmaker ever.

Since the pre-Qin period, Chengdu【小题1】(be) an important cultural town in China. But【小题2】really sets the city apart, culturally, is its opera.【小题3】important aspect of Sichuan Opera is the magic of “face changing” where vividly coloured masks are changed within the blink of an eye. In opera gardens and tea houses across the town, audiences 【小题4】(want) a glimpse of the local culture love to drink tea while listening to Sichuan Opera and watching face changing.

It is believed that “face changing” has its roots in【小题5】(evolve). Early humans【小题6】(need) strategies to avoid fierce animals and foreign invaders. Often, aggressive facial gestures and non-verbal cues were part of it. The Sichuan Opera is said【小题7】(bring) this range of emotions on stage.

Once the performance starts, the actor keeps pulling down one mask【小题8】another in swift movements to convey different emotions.【小题9】(astonish), no matter how close one is to the stage, they just can’t tell how the masks change.

In fact, the different kinds of characters and personalities that Sichuan Opera brings alive can【小题10】(find) among common people. This is why its emotions will continue to resonate with people for a long time.

Movies also disappoint us when things don’t look the way we 【小题4】(imagine) them in the books. For example, in the epic movie Troy, the actress 【小题5】(choose) to play the part of Helen didn’t live【小题6】to Helen’s title of “【小题7】(beautiful) woman in the world”,【小题8】(influence)opinions of the movie to some extent.   

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. Furthermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. With this in mind, perhaps we should judge 【小题9】movie in its own right, and not against its 【小题10】 (origin) source.
