摘要

ABSTRACTTwo recent documentaries, Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang’s One Child Nation (2019) and Shosh Shlam and Hilla Medalia’s Leftover Women (2019), investigate the legacy of China’s one-child policy and its social impacts on marriage, career and motherhood in the present day. In the films, seemingly progressive young women subjects are depicted against a backdrop of culturally backward and brainwashed individual community members, representing Chinese culture at large, which results in a confusing narrative replete with logical gaps and unanswered questions. This article brings together qualitative data collected from interviews with “leftover women” with film analysis and scholarship on transnational feminism to argue for the importance of critical modes of representation and cautions against the tendency to blame culture.KEYWORDS: leftover womenone-child policymarriagefeminismdocumentary film Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. From the perspective of postcolonial feminist theory, the term “enlightened” is highly problematic when it comes to discussions of women in the global south. Using “enlightened” to describe so-called modern Chinese women is inappropriate and disrespectful to say the least. In this article, our purpose of using the term is to question the two films’ explicit and implicit message that modern Chinese women need to be “enlightened” by the West.
