iQIYI Presents Two Reality-Driven Films, "Mumu" and "We Girls", Amidst Shift to Realism in Chinese Cinema

iQIYI, China's leading online entertainment platform, has announced the premieres of two reality-driven films - "Mumu" and "We Girls" - ahead of the Qingming Festival holiday period. The films delve into the lives of hearing-impaired families and marginalized women, reflecting a broader shift in Chinese cinema toward realism. "Mumu" tells the story of a deaf father's struggle to build a better life for his daughter, while "We Girls" follows a mother's risk to purchase an expensive cochlear implant for her daughter and her subsequent journey through prison. Both films have generated significant buzz and pre-sales revenues.
