Director Derek Tsang and Zhou Dongyu reunited once again for Burberry’s Chinese New Year 2021 film. 

This Chinese New Year 2021, Burberry teams up with director Derek Tsang to present &ldquo;A New Awakening&rdquo; led by Zhou Dongyu and co-starring Song Weilong.&nbsp;From the same director as Soul Mate and Better Days, the film encapsulates the protagonist&rsquo;s journey of growing up and discovery, remembered by the five senses.&nbsp;

The untamed spirit of Burberry and Derek Tsang&rsquo;s honest narration on growth have come together in the six-minute film to celebrate the arrival of a new spring and the unknowns await &ndash; coming as a much-needed reminder to meet the challenges with the fearless in us.

&quot;Working on this Burberry campaign was truly remarkable &ndash; we got to shoot in probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Amidst ancient trees, mountains and streams, we got to reunite and work together in the most serene environment. It was rejuvenating and heart-warming, and the smell of nature in the air gave us all an extra touch of inspiration. Nature, to me, is what keeps things balanced. I&rsquo;ve been on trips where I have spent lots of time just gazing out at all the nature and beauty before my eyes. It&rsquo;s always calming and humbling. For the new Year of the Ox, I just wish for health and happiness for everybody.&quot;

&quot;I found this whole experience with Burberry very unforgettable. I was so happy to work with the brand alongside my favourite director Derek Tsang, as well as Zhou Dongyu. When I am filming, I like to immerse myself in different environments &ndash; we will often go into the mountains and get in touch with nature to really experience its charm. I find that nature teaches us to go with the flow, show respect and always stay curious &ndash; these are important learnings for me in my work. I am looking forward to working on exciting new projects and I wish everyone the best for a healthy and safe new Year of the Ox.&rsquo;&quot;
