Question

【题目】 In many-even most-space-themed films, whenever Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always leaving the planet in spaceships. But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie,“The Wandering Earth”，offers a different idea.

In the film, which is adapted from a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying Sun. Humans around the world work together to build a huge engine system that will push Earth away from the Sun. Instead of leaving Earth-again-this time we’re taking it with us.

This idea didn't come from nowhere. For thousands of years, Chinese people have had a special emotion at their “homeland” in their hearts and minds. One old saying is “luo ye gui gen", which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. Or look to an ancient poem: “The season called the White Dew ( 白露) begins tonight/Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright.” These both show the strong relationship that Chinese people have had with their homeland.

This is probably what sets “The Wandering Earth" apart from Hollywood-style space films. “What is Chinese sci-fi?”Guo Fan. the film’s director, said in an interview. “Films that can really express Our cultural and spiritual core ( 精神核心) can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we' re just copying others and telling the same American stories.

And the makers of “The Wandering Earth” may have chosen the best time to tell the Chinese sci-fi story. The film was screened on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it's our home.
