In 2017,the documentary film Twenty Two caused great repercussions in China and was the first documentary film with a box office of more than 100 million.Before the 1990 s,comfort women almost disappeared from the public's view.As the "comfort women" historical event of traumatic memory,more and more researchers began to pay attention to it in recent years,mostly focusing on books,historical materials,media texts,museums,etc.From the perspective of image,this paper studies how to construct the cultural trauma of "comfort women" in Twenty Two,and how the two major memory communities,official and folk,interpret the trauma of the film,and how to construct the human traumatic memory sharing the suffering with "them".The research of this paper is mainly carried out from the two cores of "image" and "audience interpretation".The research samples include the film Twenty Two,collected posts of DoubanFilm,TaoPiaopiaoFilm,news coverage of People's Daily and Xinhua news agency.The results show that Twenty Two successfully represents "personal suffering" as the eternal pursuit of "living" by members of the human community from the perspectives of time,space,trauma narrative,etc.,and the reverence for life leads to emotional resonance across the world and generations.At the same time,in the interpretation of Twenty Two,the two main memory subjects,the official and folk,based on the common memory,present different interpretation framework and emotional appeal.Although they have mentioned "human destiny",they fail to jump out of the identity of "injured country",and are difficult to surpass the limits of national ethnic groups in the acceptance and reconstruction of cultural trauma,resulting in the suffering of trauma construction Obstruction.
