Join us for an international movie night in the Language House, hosted by the students of the Chinese Cluster! We will be screening the film Ne Zha–Mo Tong Jiang Shi (2019), the precursor of the global cultural phenomenon Ne Zha 2 (2025), currently screening in theaters. Featuring the popular Chinese mythological character Nezha, in the film, a young boy, Ne Zha, is born from a heavenly pearl by the Primeval Lord of Heaven. Born with unique powers, he finds himself as an outcast who is hated and feared. Destined by prophecy to bring destruction to the world, the young boy must choose between good and evil in order to break the shackles of fate and become the hero.
