The Light of the White Pagoda is a feature film written and directed by Lv Zhang and starring Xin Baiqing, Huang Yao, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Nanji, Li Qinqin and Wang Hongwei. The film was released in Chinese mainland on October 27th, 223.

The Light of the White Pagoda describes the story of Gu Wentong, a middle-aged food blogger, who, with the encouragement of Ouyang Wenhui, a young photographer, made up with his father who had lost contact for more than 4 years, and discussed the emotional confusion of middle-aged people.

In the film, Lv Zhang chooses the neighborhood of Beijing Miaoying Temple, where he used to play, as the geographical coordinates of the protagonist's daily behavior, and the maze-like hutong becomes the psychological landmark of the character, and finally leads the heroine to the vast seaside. Poetry, philosophy, classic movies, emotional fluctuations from point to point, and many Beijing-featured buildings in the film, * * * have made appropriate embellishments for this long-lasting film.

film evaluation of Light of the White Pagoda

Light of the White Pagoda is very clever and truly reflects the extremely unpredictable fate, and it is impossible to assert that everything will always be so perfectly balanced. But it does show that middle-aged life is both comfortable and disappointing. When the audience is aware of all kinds of intangible and complicated connections, with the past, with the people on their own life track, and with the place they call home, these connections will always make them feel a little comfort.

Zhang Lv, the director, has developed a subtle network of relationships around Gu Wentong, the main character of the film, with a light posture that is almost floating, which is rare in cinemas. Light of the White Pagoda is not about the huge shadow left behind a person, but about the collection of many small shadows that make up the moving and tragic complexity of life.
