Program Description

Event Details

Join us in the Scott Room for a family friendly Chinese language film. The Scarsdale Public Library has partnered with The Horace Greeley Chinese Club, which proudly works to provide Chinese families with an environment where their culture is celebrated and appreciated through films. Each film will be screened in either Mandarin or Cantonese with English subtitles.

This month's film is Hi, Mom! Released in 2021, this was the highest grossing film with a solo female director until this year's Barbie. After her mother Li Huanying is fatally injured in a car accident in 2001, grief-stricken Jia Xiaoling finds herself transported back in time to the year 1981, where she becomes her mother's close friend. Jia Xiaoling feels that she has not been a good enough daughter in the present, so back in 1981, she does all she can to make Li Huanying happy, including setting her up with a factory manager's son, Shen Guanglin, in the hope of giving her mother a better husband, a better daughter, and a better life than she had the first time around. Staring Jia Ling, Shen Teng, Zhang Xiaofei, and Chen He.

This monthly event is completely free, and refreshments will be provided!

This event is cosponsored by the OCA-WHV.
