Hua Dao, an outstanding advertising director and producer, possesses a wealth of experience with over 200 brilliant advertising works. Grounded in real-life experiences, he crafted the deeply moving feature film "WOMEN: Things We Don't Know," which seamlessly blends personal narratives with keen observations of societal phenomena. The film portrays the touching story of a happy family struggling together and overcoming obstacles amidst great changes.
Through his unique perspective, Hua Dao reinterprets the dynamics among family members. Audiences are immersed in a heartwarming, light-hearted family healing comedy through his skillfully woven narratives. His subtle and realistic approach delineates the nuances of family life, conveying profound life philosophies: "Love needs to be timely; precisely because days are tough, we should cherish them even more." This is not just Hua Dao's story but a moving narrative resonating with many families.
Throughout his distinguished career, Hua Dao has received numerous accolades, including the "2013 Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards," the "2014 ART&TUR International Tourism Film/TV Festival" with the "First Prize" in the Television Program category, and the "Health Tourism Film Award - First Prize." Particularly noteworthy is his Director's Award at the "2019 China Golden Kite International Microfilm Competition," once again showcasing his outstanding artistic achievements.
This is an officially funded promotional film, and it is quite rare that I was able to incorporate an anti-war message with official support. However, since it’s not a documentary but a tourism promotion video, I have to strike a balance between the two. On one hand, I need to meet the expectations of the sponsors, and on the other, I aim to convey my intended message. This is no small challenge.
Matsu is a beautiful island. Through our film, we hope to bring more awareness to its historical stories. This land has endured the ravages of war but has now undergone a rebirth, becoming a tourism destination rooted in its wartime culture. We aim to convey the importance of world peace through this film. It is suitable for audiences of all ages to enjoy.
We aim to integrate the unique military terrain of Matsu to create an action-packed scene reminiscent of parkour, showcasing the beauty of Matsu's Nan Gan. Additionally, love stories have always been among the audience's favorite themes. Through meticulously crafted action sequences by the director, we will portray the ambiance of the battlefield and convey crucial messages of anti-war and peace. By naturally incorporating the characters' backgrounds and the development of the plot, we will seamlessly blend in the reconstruction plans and curatorial content of the battlefield camp, thus creating promotional focal points.
"The Blue Tears" is a natural phenomenon that is a must-see for visitors to Matsu. During the spring and summer months, the sea transforms into a spectacle of blue fluorescent lights, reminiscent of scenes from the movie "Avatar."
The viewing season for Blue Tears is from April to September in Matsu Island. However, the best viewing period falls between April and June, when the seawater temperature is moderate and the south wind blows. Blue Tears are not a result of ecological pollution; instead, they symbolize the abundance of ecological resources and marine life.
