In Huli, Beijing, the Chen, Lin, and Pan families have transformed over forty years of reform. The Chen family's son, Chen Huan, became a famous economist, while daughter Chen Qing and her husband He Dahai overcame layoffs. The youngest, Chen Xiaoou, embodies modern women. The Lin family's son, Lin Yida, transitioned from government work to business, bringing his rural wife Qunying, who grew into a strong woman. Daughter Lin Pingping studied abroad but faced difficulties. The Pan family struggles with Liangzi's unemployment and his mother Pan Tao's hopes. Chen Huan succeeded professionally but lost in love, Lin Pingping had a challenging life abroad, Chen Qing and He Dahai found stability, and Lin Yida's business led to divorce and remarriage.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
