Embrace Again is a 2021 Chinese romance film directed by Xue Xiaolu and starring Huang Bo and Jia Ling. The film was released in mainland China on 31 December 2021 and depicts love stories between ordinary people during the COVID-19 lockdown in Wuhan, Hubei.

Production

The film was directed by Xue Xiaolu. In the early stages of production, Xue interviewed a variety of people who had helped with the epidemic response and gathered their stories as source material for the film. Xue had Jia Ling and Zhu Yilong in mind for their parts when writing the script.

Xu Fan and Zhu Yilong are from Wuhan, and Jia Ling is also from Hubei. Jia said "As someone from Hubei, I'm honored to be in the movie." Although she was not in Hubei during the outbreak, she had friends who were in the province at the time, and filming the movie brought back memories for her.

Two versions of the film were released, one in Standard Mandarin and one in the Wuhan dialect. Wuhan native Zhu Yilong taught the dialect to Jia Ling and Huang Bo for the film. Huang Bo said at a press event that he worked hard to learn the dialect so that his accent wouldn't ruin the audience's suspension of disbelief.
