My family and I really enjoyed watching Nai Nai & Wài Pó . Even though the Sean Wang’s short did not win an Oscar, The Daughter shared with me that the real life Nai Nai and Wài Pó were big winners on the Academy Award’s Red Carpet. They even were featured in articles from fashion magazine Vogue and GQ!
I was happy to see that a few years after the short was made, they were still alive. I also found it inspirational to see even at their age (96 for Yi Yan Fuei and 86 for Chang Li Hua), they could have amazing new experiences, such as wearing clothes from high-end fashion house like RODARTE. and appearing on the Academy Awards Red Carpet. It looks like they are living life with joy, as they say in the film.
I also that learned that we covered another Sean Wang short called H.A.G.S. (have a great summer). Joz says she is eager to see how his career goes, and from the looks of things, it is going great! You can see H.A.G.S. here, and Nai Nai and Wai Po is available for streaming on Disney+. More pictures from the Oscars are here on Sean Wang’s Instagram.
