    In the past few days, the Chinese animated blockbuster Ne Zha 2 has taken the overseas cinema by storm, captivating audiences worldwide with its stunning visuals, riveting storytelling, and profound cultural themes that resonate deeply with viewers of all ages.

    According to data from ticketing platform Maoyan as of Monday afternoon,Ne Zha 2 has surpassed Disney's 2019 The Lion King to claim a spot among the 10 highest-grossing films of all time, with global earnings, including presales, exceeding 12.05 billion yuan ($1.67 billion).

    This achievement comes on the 20th day since the film's release during the Chinese New Year on January 29. It adds to a growing list of records for the film, which became the first to gross $1 billion in a single market and the first non-Hollywood title to join the coveted billion-dollar club.

    The success of this animated movie transcends boundaries and languages, connecting with audiences of various backgrounds and sparking a worldwide dialogue on the power of storytelling and the universal appeal of myths and legends.

    A key factor behind the popularity of Ne Zha 2 is its strong connection to Chinese mythology and folklore. Drawing inspiration from the classic tale of Ne Zha, a revered figure in Chinese culture known for his bravery, defiance of fate, and ultimate redemption, the film blends fantasy, adventure, and moral lessons, tapping into a storytelling tradition that has captivated audiences for generations, resonating not only in China but also worldwide.

    The success of Ne Zha 2 can also be attributed to its innovative animation style and visual effects. The film showcases cutting-edge animation techniques, bringing to life a vibrant and immersive world filled with mythical creatures, epic battles, and breathtaking landscapes.

    While Hollywood blockbusters had long dominated China's film industry, a recent shift has seen domestic productions, spanning genres from action and sci-fi to romance and animation, surpassing Western films. This transition, fueled by growing cultural pride, enhanced storytelling techniques, and rapid technological advancements, reflects the changing landscape of the global film industry.

    Beyond its technical excellence, Ne Zha 2 resonates with viewers on a profound level by exploring themes of identity, destiny, and the power of choice. The character of Ne Zha, the rebellious Chinese boy who confronts dragons and challenges fate, embodies universal struggles and aspirations that transcend cultural boundaries. Through Ne Zha's journey of self-discovery and growth, the film encourages audiences to contemplate their own paths, obstacles, and potential for transformation.

    Ne Zha 2 shines as a testament to the creative talent and storytelling prowess emerging from China's burgeoning animation industry. By presenting Chinese culture in a fresh and dynamic light, the film has sparked curiosity and appreciation for the rich and multifaceted heritage often underrepresented in mainstream media.

    As audiences embrace diverse and culturally rich content, Ne Zha 2 stands as a beacon of the power of storytelling to transcend borders, unite people across cultures, and inspire imagination and wonder on a global scale.
