Outside a Wuhan hospital, people leave garlands of flowers and farewell notes by a picture of Li Wenliang, the late doctor and whistle-blower who first raised the alarm about Covid-19 infections in the central Chinese city, where the novel coronavirus first emerged, and later succumbed to the disease.
A volunteer psychologist braves infection to counsel distressed patients in the city, only to be told on the phone of her father’s terminal lung cancer diagnosis.
A heavily pregnant young woman, anxious and worn out by the lockdown in Wuhan, jokingly threatens to kill her husband if he cannot buy a cot when most shops are shut.

Winners of 2021 Golden Broom Awards announced, only one winner shows up
For any film industry professional, there s no greater honor than winning a coveted award. In China specifically, actors and directors dream of taking home the holy trinity that is a Golden Rooster (Chinese mainland), Golden Horse (Taiwan), and Golden Lady (Hong Kong). Unfortunately, however, not all awards are created equal. Just ask the recipients of China s dreaded Golden Broom.
The 金扫帚奖
jīn sǎo zhǒu jiǎng Golden Broom Awards
– akin to the Golden Raspberry Awards in the States – is something of a joke award given to films that performed particularly badly in the previous year.
