Story
Stars in the Dust is a deeply moving short film that tells the story of a young boy, A Xing, living in a city slum, and his determination to chase his astronomical dreams despite the harshness of his environment. The film follows A Xing’s unwavering passion for astronomy as he strives to change his destiny, exploring profound themes of hope, dreams, perseverance, and the power of love.
The protagonist, A Xing, is a young boy from a poor family living in a city slum. Every day, he struggles to make ends meet, but when night falls, he climbs to the rooftop and gazes at the stars, filled with longing and dreams of reaching the distant constellations. Despite his family’s poverty, which prevents him from owning a telescope or astronomy books, A Xing never gives up on his love for the stars. Instead, he begins to teach himself astronomy using star charts and books he finds at a local second-hand book stall, studying the mysteries of the night sky day after day.
Despite the difficult circumstances around him, A Xing remains hopeful. Through hard work and intelligence, he makes significant strides in the field of astronomy. He not only builds his own simple telescope but also earns a scholarship to attend an astronomy academy. His journey from the slums to the academic halls of an astronomy school shows how dreams can bloom even in the most difficult conditions. A Xing’s story demonstrates that with dreams in the heart and effort in action, one can overcome the limitations of their environment and find their own stars.
Stars in the Dust is not only a story of growth and perseverance but also a poignant commentary on the importance of education, opportunity, and the power of love. It reminds us that no matter how difficult life may be, as long as we hold on to our dreams, the future is filled with limitless possibilities.

Risk Warning
Please note, participating in crowdfunding projects involves certain risks…
Investing in projects on a global creative crowdfunding platform, whether supporting creative projects or participating in crowdfunding activities, involves certain risks. To make more informed investment decisions, we recommend that you carefully read the following risk warnings before participating in any crowdfunding project:
1.Project Risks Crowdfunding projects are typically in the early stages and carry a high level of uncertainty. Projects may experience delays, failure to meet targets, or even complete failure due to factors such as technical challenges, insufficient market demand, or weak team execution. Please make sure to thoroughly understand each project's background and objectives before making a rational investment decision.
2.Funding Security Risk During the project support phase, the funds you donate or invest are not directly used to purchase products or services, but rather to support the project in achieving its goals. Therefore, the use of project funds and the fulfillment of commitments are not related to the platform, and we cannot take responsibility for the project's financial operations or fund security. We recommend that you thoroughly understand the credibility and history of the project before participating.
3. Product Delivery Risk The core of crowdfunding projects is usually the commitment to deliver products or services. Due to various factors such as production, logistics, and technology, the delivery timeline of promised products may change or be delayed. When supporting a project, please maintain realistic expectations and understand that the project may be affected by uncontrollable factors.
4. Market and Industry Risk Some creative projects may face challenges from external factors such as insufficient market demand, intense competition, and changes in industry policies. These factors may lead to the project failing to be completed smoothly or unable to achieve profitability. Therefore, market uncertainty and industry changes are risks that cannot be overlooked.
5. Legal and Compliance Risk Crowdfunding projects may involve legal regulations from different countries and regions. Project initiators may face legal disputes if they fail to comply with relevant laws. We recommend that you check the legal compliance of the project in its location before supporting it to avoid risks from non-compliant projects.
6. Investment Return Uncertainty Crowdfunding support is not the same as investing in the stock market or venture capital, and the projects you support are not set up with the goal of providing financial returns. Please be fully aware that participating in crowdfunding activities may not yield the expected returns and may even involve the risk of investment loss.
7. Limitation of Liability This platform serves as a crowdfunding service platform, providing technical support and platform services. However, we do not take responsibility for the project's operational status, progress, or product quality. We encourage investors to make independent and rational decisions and take responsibility for their investments.
Friendly Reminder
Rational Investment: Crowdfunding is a high-risk investment method, and funds should be invested based on thorough understanding and consideration. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose.
Cautious Evaluation: Before participating in any crowdfunding activity, it is recommended that you thoroughly understand the project's background information, goals, and team capabilities, and actively communicate with the project team to ensure a full understanding of the risks.
Regulatory Authorities: This platform collaborates with multiple regulatory bodies globally to provide a transparent and fair crowdfunding environment. However, we still recommend that you pay attention to the compliance of both the platform and the project team to ensure the legality of your investment.
