Lively Folk Art Street

Adapted from a true story, "The Fire of Jiqing Street" focuses its lens on a real night market street in Wuhan, Hubei, capturing the hustle and bustle, the humility and kindness, the worldliness and simplicity of an urban alley nestled within a modern city. Through the microcosm of Jiqing Street, it reflects broader themes of city life - particularly the survival states of various people who have come from other places - and the complex relationships between individuals that are both mutually dependent and subtly alienating, all formed in the pursuit of survival or, more precisely, life itself. The film provides a deep interpretation of these dynamics, portraying characters who may seem like "failures" in conventional terms - not the kind of cinematic heroes who are glamorous even in defeat - but rather ordinary people who live around us: like our parents, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters. This natural connection gives the audience an added sense of intimacy while watching. It leads viewers to wander between "historical rationality" and "humanistic concern", between the "new" and the "old", and encourages them to quietly reaffirm a fundamental belief deep in their hearts: that in every era, the greatest concern is whether every individual can ultimately live with dignity and fulfillment.
