In plain English

This repository contains no code. It is a curated list of well-regarded Chinese mainland films from roughly 2022 to 2024, written in Chinese and organized by genre. There is nothing to install or run. The list is divided into three sections. The first covers socially realistic films, including Article 20 (2024, directed by Zhang Yimou), a biopic about a real-life school principal, and Miracle: Not a Little Panda (2022). The second covers comedies, including Hot and Spicy (2024), Pegasus 2 (2024), and Annual Meeting Can't Stop! (2023). The third covers epic and historical productions, including The Wandering Earth 2 (2023), Fengshen Part One (2023), Chang'an 30,000 Miles (2023, an animated historical film), and Full River Red (2023, also directed by Zhang Yimou). The README includes links to a Chinese streaming site where each title can be searched and watched. This is essentially a personal or shared movie recommendation list stored as a public GitHub repository.
