This book explores how Chinese films constructed an image of China
in the 1980s through analyzing the characters, composition of
space, and conflict patterns of the films. It also examines the
relationship between the representations in Chinese cinema and the
realities of Chinese society. The study analyzes the imagery,
metaphors, and cultural values of Chinese films in the 1980s to
discover the common creative focus of Chinese film directors at the
time. It also examines the specific creative elements and cultural
significance of Chinese cinema in the 1980s. This book is neither a
"period history" of Chinese cinema in the 80s, nor a thematic study
of the "fifth generation". Rather, it is an analysis of films as
narrative texts that reflected on history. It uses the perspectives
revealed by characters, narrative patterns, and conflicts in films
of the 1980s to examine how the era was perceived at that time as
well as how China's national future and individuals' personal
futures were being conceptualized. This title will be a valuable
resource for scholars and students of Chinese Studies, Contemporary
China Studies, Film Studies, and those who are interested in
Chinese culture and society in general.
