In plain English

This repository is a simple movie list organized by release year, written entirely in Chinese. The title translates to "Year-by-Year Film Rankings." For each year from 2023 onward, it lists a curated selection of well-regarded films, typically five to ten titles per year, with director names noted for some entries. The 2023 list includes internationally recognized titles such as Oppenheimer (Christopher Nolan), Barbie, and Perfect Days (Ryusuke Hamaguchi, featuring Koji Yakusho), alongside Chinese films including Wandering Earth 2, the historical epic Fengshen Part One, and the animated film Chang An 30,000 Miles. Monster by Hirokazu Kore-eda also appears. The 2024 list mixes Chinese domestic box-office hits, including films by Zhang Yimou, Jia Ling, and Han Han, with Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron (listed under its Chinese title) and the Hong Kong action film Kowloon Walled City: Siege. The 2025 section includes Dune Part Two and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, plus a placeholder for Wandering Earth 3, listed as not yet released at the time of writing. The 2026 section is marked as pending. The README also links to an external Chinese streaming site called Nunu Cinema, with direct links filtered by year for 2023 through 2026. These are links to browse films by year on that platform, not links to anything within this repository. There is no code here. The repository is a plain text list maintained as a GitHub project, likely for personal film tracking or sharing recommendations. The README is under 750 characters and gives no information about the selection criteria or how the list is maintained.
