Hello Li Huanying’s English name is Hi, Mom.
The English name of the movie "Hello, Li Huanying" is Hi, Mom, not Hi, Li Huanying. The official translation of the English title of "Hello, Li Huanying" is Hi, Mom instead of literal translation as Hi, Li Huanying. This actually uses a common method in the Chinese-English translation of movie and TV title: reconstruction .
Using Mom instead of Li Huanying can make it clear to foreign audiences that this movie is about mothers. Moreover, "Hi, Li Huanying" doesn't make much sense and is troublesome to read. Replacing "Li Huanying" with "Mom" directly points to the core of the movie - mother and maternal love.
The plot of "Hello, Li Huanying"
One day in 2001, Jia Xiaoling (played by Jia Ling), who had just been admitted to college, experienced a big ups and downs in her life. She wanted to be her mother's pride, but she was deeply saddened by her mother's sudden serious accident. In a state of emotional collapse, Jia Xiaoling unexpectedly returned to 1981 and met her young mother Li Huanying (played by Zhang Xiaofei). The two were inseparable, like best friends.
At the same time, Jia Xiaoling also made a group of innocent and kind-hearted friends. Jia Xiaoling thought that when she came to this "broad world", she could use her forward thinking to make her mother "do a lot", but the result surprised Jia Xiaoling.
