Jointly initiated by BCAF, Youku Philanthropy, and China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation, the plan is dedicated to discovering and supporting high-quality philanthropically themed films, providing a communication and promotion platform, advancing the dissemination of philanthropic culture concepts, and promoting the sustainability of the philanthropy industry.

Major work included soliciting worldwide outstanding philanthropy movie shooting plans and providing funding, technical, as well as communication support, and also establishing communications platforms for philanthropically themed films. Four public programs were successfully organized in 2017, including the screening of I Am Not A Hero, The Ivory Game, Still Tomorrow,and China's Van Goghs.

Former school principal 88-year-old Lou has had Alzheimer’s for the last 10 years. She now recognizes almost no one except for her husband Feng. Nonetheless, they live a full and happy life in Shanghai. They practice tai chi every morning, make regular visits to the Peking opera and read poetry to one another. But when Feng himself gets sick, he decides it’s time for them to move into a retirement home. They have almost no one else to care for them; their only son lives in Australia and visits sporadically. The transition from hectic city to rural rest home takes a heavy toll on them both. The subjects of Qing Zhao’s tender portrait are her own great uncle and aunt, whom she followed for three years. She was witness to the unbreakable bond between the couple, and devotes much of her attention to the remarkable history of their love. Feng married Lou when she was 42 years old, following the death of his first wife. Together they survived the Cultural Revolution, during which Feng was denounced and sent far away to Sichuan. As an old Chinese saying goes, “Hold his hand to grow old together.” Please Remember Me perfectly encapsulates these words.
