One of the youngest actresses in Chinese cinema this summer, Luo Sansui, was only 7 months old when she filmed Till Love Do Us Apart , a poignant film released nationwide on Friday.
Directed by Liu Fendou, known for the Cannes Film Festival award-winning Ocean Flame , the movie follows the story of an armless woman, played by Tong Liya, and a young man with a hearing disability, portrayed by Huang Minghao, who grow up together as siblings in a welfare institution. Their peaceful existence is disrupted when the woman finds an abandoned baby in a trash bin. Despite their physical challenges, she decides to adopt the baby, leading to a heart-wrenching tale.
During the Beijing promotional event on Aug 21, Tong shared that she had studied individuals with similar disabilities to practice for months on how to authentically portray daily activities for her role, such as completing tasks using only her feet and mouth.
Luo, now one-and-a-half years old, also attended the event, attracting a large audience who praised her cuteness and performance in the movie.
The film was shot between December and January in Neijiang, Sichuan province, and features several authentic locations including a port, hospital and vegetable market.
Director Liu emphasized the resilience and positivity of the disabled individuals they interviewed, expressing a desire to showcase the group's innate love and warmth in the film to inspire the public.

Now THERE is a MOVIE STAR!!!!
I'd give her the Oscar for being so damn cute.
Yup, I would as well.
She could become China's Shirley Temple. Look at her poise at only 18 months.
You all simply don't know what you're missing.
