About Rag Doll
Although Yingying’s mother was killed in a modern day persecution and the little girl is alone on the streets of Northern China, an enchanted art form could reunite them. Enter a child’s world, where hope and imagination are more powerful than police batons or state-sponsored violence, where noble determination conquers all.

在一個雷電交加的夜晚,瑩瑩的母親被抓走,留給瑩瑩一隻畫筆和一個娃娃為伴。只有五歲的瑩瑩孤苦度日,流落街頭,一邊東躲西藏尋找安身之處,一邊小心的躲避抓走媽媽的黑暗勢力。如影隨形的烏雲一次又一次驅走了瑩瑩身邊的好心人。她必須從自身尋找力量,克服恐懼,用媽媽留給她的禮物,實現她與媽媽相聚的夢想。

  • Let me explain the last few minutes incase someone doesn't get what it means. The group of ppl with orange vests were prisoners at a detention center in China(Changchun city). Prisoners there were forced to make dolls(the way the police would make profits). That guy with the shocker was a police. The gesture of the girl’s hand is from an ancient meditation called Falun Dafa, the practitioners of which are still going through brutal persecution in China.

  • In the end scene when she is stepping out, scared, a shadow is covering her whole body. But when she overcomes her initial fear and her righteousness shines through, her field lights up. In contrast, at the same time, the guard stops and a shadow casts on his face. Beautiful storytelling and excellent production quality. Congratulations to the team 👏🏻

  • I have 2 hypothesis. 1 - The girl's mom got arrested and put in a detention camp for whatever reason and the girl was put in an orphanage but i read a comment saying that children of those prisoners also get unfair traitement so the storm may symbolize the oppression and because of her mom's identity, the girl can't receive help and she has to go through all of this suffering alone. The doll is something that her mom made for her before or after going to the camp ( I don't know if prisoners can send things ) and the girl learnt from her mom to not let the storm/oppression dirty her and to keep being pure like a lotus so the girl grew up with this advice in her heart and kept fighting alone while her mom was still suffering in the prison. 2 - the girl's mom died because of her belief ( maybe she practiced a religion that wasn't accepted there ) and the girl received no help because of the oppression. She had the same belief as her mother and broadcasted it in her drawings ( the woman with the lotus ) but she ended up being caught by the authorities and put into a detention camp. But even there, she kept believing in what she thought was right and sacrificed herself to protect someone... Either way it was a very good movie, it made me cry so much!

  • I watched the film a few times and I was profoundly moved by the beauty and soul... There are lots of metaphors. Storm: when the guard with the cattle prod walks towards the girl, his shadow moves across her face. I think this is the key to understand the storm. Every time the storm comes in the animation, the shadow also moves across the girl's face. I think it represents oppression or the evil power. The girl then summons her courage and walks out of the shadow. So perhaps in a sense the storm/shadow also represents her inner fear that she has to overcome. Lotus: it's everywhere. It's on the little doll. As a matter of fact, mom was doing finishing touches on the lotus before the doll came alive. It's on the wall of the art store. Perhaps that's a painting by her mom? When the girl "sees" her mom meditating, mom picks up a lotus and it blossoms. The hand gesture the girl forms represents the lotus blossom. In Buddhist symbolism, the lotus represents purity, as if floating above the murky waters of material attachment and physical desire. The question I'm still trying to figure out is what the little doll represents. Any thoughts?

As a parent, I’m not only deeply moved by orphaned children, but when the parent still was able to pass down something- no matter how small- that that child carries with them for the rest of their lives. And they do something with the simple things they held onto from their childhood because of that hope, belief & the deep bond between a parent and child ; how those lessons can inspire a child into expanding those good little nostalgias from their childhood onto the world, because they know what they had was so sweet, the whole world would be better for experiencing it too.

  • Very happy for comments being enabled, some of this was lost on me because I do not know history of China very well let alone what Lotus Blossom represented. Despite that I still enjoyed the short film before viewing the comments, it just made things more powerful once you do know :)

  • When she does the gesture at the end, it seems the guard is crying deep inside, a pain hidden by the facade put on to survive in that awful atmosphere, although only in the flesh... It really angers me that the CCP has enslaved not just physically a portion of its population, but also the mind of the other part. Every Chinese is a slave, and that is so sad... It's indeed a poison so vile, that it sends the consciousness in exile.
