China's first new media (cell phone) movie, including "There" (Jia Zhangke, director, later the same), "A Moment of Silence" (Wang Xiaoshuai), "Watermelon" (Meng Jinghui), "It's Hard to Buy Happiness with Money" (Liu Hao), "I Want to Be Wild About You" (Xiao Jiang), "Starlight Dream Journey" (Sun Xiaoru), "A Little FU Eggs" (Li Hong), and "The Bride" (Jiang Lifen), and other eight 3-minute short films. Watermelon, which won the second prize in the Moving Screen section of the 2008 French Pocket Film Festival, switches back and forth between reality and dreams, telling the story of a man who searches for a toilet in his dreams but is unable to find one.The other seven short films have a complete story, or tell a state of life, or relate to a certain moment in the mind. Though their quality varies, they reflect the diverse postures of people's lives nowadays.
