For three years, director Sha Mo traveled to multiple cities across China to interview people with hearing impairments to gather inspiration for his film Mumu.

Recently released during Qingming Festival, the tear-jerker has garnered acclaim, earning a 7.0 out of 10 ranking on the popular review platform Douban.

Starring actor Zhang Yixing as a man with hearing loss, the film begins with the protagonist living a joyful life with his 7-year-old daughter, who acts as a bridge to the hearing world as she helps him navigate daily life.
