After learning that she was shortlisted for the Golden Horse Film Festival, Yu Xiangning posted a heartwarming video of hugging her mother and daughter on IG on October 3 and wrote: “I know you can’t cry during confinement, but I really want to cry, thank you.

“Under the Day”, adapted from real events, tells the story of a news agency receiving a tip-off about the abuse of residents at the “Cai Qiao Home”, a nursing home for the disabled. In order to expose the supervision issues of the nursing home for the disabled, the investigation team recruited reporter Xiao Qi (Yu Xiang Ning (played by Xiang Ning) sneaks into the hospital to find the cruel truth under the sun.
