The movie "The Book of Life and Death" starring young actor Gao Zitong, after winning the Best Film Nomination Award at the "Asian International Youth Film Festival", also won the Best Actress at the New York Film Festival-NYCA; the "Best Actress" at the Spanish Gil International Film Festival "Best Actress"; Chicago Film Festival "Best Actress Nomination" and Los Angeles Independent Women's Film Festival "Best Actress Nomination". Famous film scholar Michael Rabigh once said that audiences evaluate the quality of a movie mainly from two aspects, one is the story and the other is the performance. "The Book of Life and Death" demonstrates the abilities of the creators precisely from these two aspects. The movie "The Book of Life and Death" has interlocking storylines in typical scenes, and is deeply involved step by step. One key to attracting people into the country is also what we want to focus on - the performance of the actress. Here we quote "FOX News" international film critic 'Son of the Film''s review of her performance: "Actress Gao Zitong's interpretation of the role in this story completely conquered me. I watched her every move and was fascinated. Her subtle feelings are brought into the realm of the movie and into the world of the story, especially the long-shot crying scene at the end of the movie, which is heartbreaking."

It is no exaggeration to say that the journey has been thousands of miles. Let us count the film festival awards and honors this film has won in 2023.
