Story:
This film is the third one I have made for the People's Memory Project, returning again to the same village. In the beginning of 2012, in winter, while continuing my interviewing there, I began investigating and gathering statistics on deaths during The Three Year Famine. I also began soliciting donations for a memorial for those who had died then. Kids from 10-15 years old voluntarily joined these activities, taking the video camera I gave them, visiting old folks, interviewing, and getting statistics, donations. This project gave them a first opportunity to learn about and appreciate their village's history. With these "Little Angels" help, I suddenly no longer felt alone in the village. I could see the future and its hopes. This film completes my three-film Zou Village Series.

最喜欢的片段是几个小孩自己拍的那几段。片子里面导演对几个小孩说等她们到了她的年龄就知道自己做过的事情有多有意义了。算下来这几个小孩现在已经和导演当时差不多年纪了,好奇她们现在是怎么看待这段回忆的
