A film by Xiao Han & Kun Hong
The 14-minute experimental fashion short film HÓNG uses nine sets of costumes and seven constructed scenes to review the development and evolution of feminism in post -1949 China, blurring the cultural and political experiences of three generations of women into one abstract character.
The film draws inspiration from many classic cultural works, including traditional Chinese opera, model plays, and the aesthetic essence of different historical periods.
These influences are integrated through costume design, stage art, and other audiovisual languages, blending with postmodernist elements, we hope the creation weaves together generations of history, identity, and social change through the language of costume, movement, and cinematic abstraction.
Prologue
前言
October 1st, 1949. 3PM. A new China has been officially established. With its new anthem played, national flag unveiled, and a 21-gun salute fired in the distance, someone proclaimed: “...now, the people's war of liberation has been won, and the majority of the people in this country have been emancipated. ”
Among the important people on Tiananmen Square, there can be seen a few female party leaders. To these early women revolutionaries, who have fought alongside their male comrades for three decades, the formation of this new government manifested their own radical vision of a socialist nation in which women as well, would enjoy full equality and human dignity.
On this joyous night, somewhere, a Chinese bride quietly awaits.

1949年10月1号，下午三点，新中国成立了！伴随着二十一声礼炮的余响和义勇军进行曲的演奏，崭新的五星红旗迎风飘扬，有人这样宣布道：“现在人民解放战争也以取得基本的胜利，全国大多数人民也以得到解放。”
登上天安门城楼的党内成员中伫立着两位女性，她们是蔡畅、何香凝。对于这些同样为反抗封建主义、帝国主义、和资本主义奋斗了三十年的女性革命先锋来说，这一天也标志着她们激进理想的实现：一个真正男女平等的新国家、新时代终于来临。
在这喜庆的日子，一位新娘在洞房里等待着。
