Independent Chinese documentary by Wu Wenguan following and interviewing a group of young artists around the time of the events Tiananmen about their lives and careers.
Wu Wenguang revisits the artist Gao Bo more than 20 years after their earlier encounters which were documented in "Bumming in Beijing" (1990) and "At Home in the World" (1995).
The film is about the first two years in the Memory Project. All images was from my angle with my camera.
A year after he made Bumming in Beijing, Wu Wenguang visited his main figures in Austria, France, Italy and the USA. The desire to escape everything, which was the most compelling feeling while they were still living in Beijing, has meanwhile faded and they are now confronted with the dynamics of emigration. Wu asks what it means to feels deserted by one's own country and how it is when one reacts by deserting it in turn.
Wu Wenguang's comment: This film looks at my relationship with the village filmmakers— or I might say, how we met and got entangled. The film’s material comes from video recordings of the Villager Documentary Project from 2005-2009. It is about how these complete strangers and I became tied, bound, and rolled up together. And it’s about the phrase I keep wanting to shout to them,“Stand your ground! None of you run from this!”

A documentary of the Yuanda Song and Dance Tent Show, a wandering troupe from the countryside of Henan Province that is on the road all four seasons of the year.
