Post-human were widely used in the rise of humanism,covering a wide range of fields,advocating a re-examination of human itself,the core of which is the correction of humanism established since the Renaissance.The core of "post-humanism" was is the rationalization of humanism establishment from the Renaissance.The science fiction movie is closely related to it and carries out a "post-humanism narrative" pointing to the future,which provides a forward thinking for human development.The number of domestic sci-fi movies is limited,and the quality of shooting is uneven,but it also shows the characteristics of post-human narrative.Based on the longitudinal combing and the characteristics of shooting,the domestic sci-fi movies participating in the post-human narrative can be divided into three parts: 80 s and 90 s,co-productions since 2000,and domestic science fiction movies released in 2019.The 80 s and90s were the golden age for the development of domestic sci-fi movies,since the subject matter of photography was diverse,and the sci-fi movies with Chinese characteristics were explored.Since 2000,the mainland and Hong Kong co-produced sci-fi movies,shooting Chinese stories in Hollywood with high investment but low return.Wandering Earth opened up the narrative of globalization,and the Chinese joined the team that saves the world,and domestic sci-fi movies began to go abroad.From the perspective of image presentation,domestic sci-fi movies turn from post-human imaginations,including body-based individual imagination,human replantation and human body enhancement to the imagination of the doomsday crisis.From the perspective of image style domestic sci-fi movies turn from the terror experiment to create a terrorist atmosphere to a creation narrative of the bright narrative.The post-human body consists of synthetic humans,super humans,robots and cyborgs.Their existence presupposes the human body as a substitute for prosthetic limbs.In the 1980 s and 1990 s,the improper use of technology in domestic sci-fi movies would cause it the counter of people,but in the following films,technology gradually appeared in a positive image.In domestic sci-fi movies,the recursion of time and the "future history" narrative are adopted to emphasize the interaction and mutual influence of two time and space.Among them,the recursion of time includes returning from the present to the future,and going back tothe past and back to the present.The narrative way of future history is to describe the currently happening things in the way of telling history.Therefore,from the post-human image and narrative mode,we can see the concept post-humanism in domestic science fiction movies,that is the criticism of humanism in domestic sci-fi movies,and the collective ethics with Chinese characteristics which include the obedience of science and technology and the call for a community of shared future.In domestic sci-fi movies,the development of science and technology can help people cope with the end-of-day crisis,and people are united and destined because of the end of the crisis.
