Abstract

Little Sun, created in the 1960s, was considered the first Chinese science fiction film. Sixty years have passed, but science fiction had never been a major stream in Chinese film-producing history. There had been several attempts but no one had received wide popularity. Until 2019, appeared a film called The Wandering Earth, which won a ¥ 4.6 billion box office[1] worldwide and was considered as the “ actual starting point of Chinese sci-fi films”. This essay adopts film critic and data analysis skills to explore the film’s story structure, box office and cultural elements involved. It can be concluded that the reason behind the huge success of The Wandering Earth is its unique story.
