📖 The Story
幕 means the curtain that opens and closes a performance. It represents the beginning and end of each act — the framing of a story. Every film has its幕, and every幕 is a world of its own.
🎬 In Culture Today
In Chinese cinema, the '开幕' (opening) and '闭幕' (closing) are moments of ceremony. The幕 rises and falls on stories that have been told for thousands of years, but the audience never tires of them.
