How can I get the story’s original creative about
I like to read after school hours, in particular Books on philosophy, history and literature. In all of the books I have read, one book deeply affected me, it’s named <<Chuangcius>>, it written by Chuangcius in about 2300 years ago. 
In that era, China was in Feudal society, and in the time of Chuangcius life, Central Government was incompetence, lead to Warlordism and social unrest. But in that time, a number of thinkers were emerged, like Mencius, Laocius and Confucius. Their books have far-reaching in China, it is the experience of our forefathers, however, it is correct in many cases even today.
In that era, almost all of the writings were Quotations. <<Chuangcius>> is the first Prose writings in China, quite different from other books. <<Chuangcius>> has Beautiful diction. In addition to diction, <<Chuangcius>> is contains deep philosophical. It summarized the law of the development of things and the relationship between human beings, could give a great inspiration for people now.
Although we can read the English <<Chuangcius>> now, but I can’t believe English <<Chuangcius>> could reflected it’s the essence of the original, just like I don’t Chinese <<Romeo and Juliet>>. English <<Chuangcius>> more like Fairy Tales Fables but not philosophy book.
Chuangcius believe Things in the world is relative, not absolute. Awareness of things will change under certain conditions. Like beautiful and ugly, right and wrong.
I am inspired by this thinking. In more than 1000 years ago China was in Tang Dynasty, Plump girls was considered the most beautiful, but now, most people like slim girls. In cause of lots of girls manage to find ways to lose weight, although most of them have normal weight. A small number of girl was inferiority because their body weight. Gradually, they was become Self-enclosed, do not like to come into contact with people, even have psychological problems. What makes them like this, the pressure comes from nowadays public opinion. But is the opinion right? We just can say, most of people think so now, but the Chinese people in Tang Dynasty will not agree with that. So it doesn’t have the absolute response.
I want to look at these issues with center point, and express this thinking in my films. In this point, a book took me ideas. It was written by a Swedish writer named Anna Marie Ihlau, talk about a cat travel all the world. Its perspective and view was quite different from people, but always Objective and does not contain a utilitarian, it was what I want. It is quite interesting.
Than I write the story about a Plump girls and her pet cat. The cat is the narrator of the story, it looks at its owner and other people, and talk out all kinds of contradictions and unreasonable in human society. I tell the story to my partners. Everyone was interested in this story. Then we used a lot of time to improve this story. And at last we had the solo screenplay
