This article draws on recent research in the medical humanities to analyze two contemporary Chinese films: Zhang Yuan's Sons (1996) and Zhou Xiaowen's The Common People (1998). By portraying psychic and physical anguish in ways that refuse to divorce biology from culture, such films offer rare moral dialogues on biomedical issues and contribute a cross-cultural perspective invaluable to the task of responding to illness and suffering.
本文借鉴医学人文学科的最新研究成果，分析两部当代中国电影：张元的《儿子》（1996年）和周晓文的《二嫫》（1998年）。通过以拒绝将生物学与文化分离的方式描绘精神和身体上的痛苦，这类电影提供了关于生物医学问题的罕见道德对话，并为应对疾病和痛苦的任务贡献了宝贵的跨文化视角。
