help Hi, Mom FAQ
Who does Jia Ling play in Hi, Mom?
Jia Ling plays Jia Xiaoling, a daughter who travels back to 1981 and meets her young mother, Li Huanying. Zhang Xiaofei plays Li Huanying, and their mother-daughter bond is the emotional center of the film.
Is Hi, Mom based on Jia Ling's real mother?
Yes. The film grew out of Jia Ling's personal grief for her mother, Li Huanying, and also connects to Jia's earlier comedy sketch of the same name. That real-life basis is why the 2021 comedy shifts into a very direct family melodrama.
Why does Hi, Mom go back to 1981?
The 1981 setting lets Jia Xiaoling meet her mother before marriage and motherhood, when Li Huanying is a young factory worker with her own friendships and hopes. The period details, including workplace performances and team activities, help contrast the daughter’s modern guilt with her mother's earlier life.
Which actors provide the main comedy around Jia Xiaoling and Li Huanying?
Besides Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei, the film features Shen Teng and Chen He in major comic roles. Shen Teng's presence connects Hi, Mom to the broader Chinese mainstream comedy scene that also includes films from the Mahua FunAge orbit.
