On June 16th, Shanghai director Luo Dong won the Best Director Award for the Asian Newcomer Unit at the 25th Shanghai International Film Festival Golden Jubilee Awards for his film "Mei's Day and Night". Having wandered the film industry in Hong Kong and mainland China for a long time, Luo Dong, born in the 1970s, appears to be a wealthy Shanghai man: confidently speaking but softly whispering, wearing comfortable and casual clothing that reflects attention to detail. However, his film is not about romance in wutong District of Shanghai - although he lives on Wukang Road, it focuses on Yumei, a 73 year old aunt from the grassroots in Shanghai. 85 minutes, two clues form a closed loop of the story: one begins with a blind date meeting between Yumei and a man, and ends with a new blind date meeting at the subway station; Another is that she worked hard to find a new suburban residence and ultimately completed the process of moving.
