Einstein and Einstein is a 2013 Chinese film directed by Cao Baoping and starring Zhang Xueying and Guo Jinglin. It was first played in October 2013 at the Youth Generation International Film Forum, and it was first played in theaters in China in 2018.[2] The film was selected to compete for the Crystal Bear in Generation 14plus section at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won Special Mention Award (Grand Prix of the Generation 14plus International Jury).[3] [4]
It is about a 13-year-old girl named Li Wan, played by Zhang Xueying, who struggles with her parents after her dog runs away.
Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film has "a happy ending that suggests the modernization of China is an iterative process that will trickle down to the Li Wans of the world — eventually."[5]
