The documentary, “JIAYI”, adopts a particular position from where it objectively and non-discriminatingly uncovers a real world of these left-behind kids in rural area in China, which overthrows the social stereotyping towards this special group existing in the remote and underdeveloped regions. JiaYi, one of these unattended children, cherished every single reunion with her parents who work as migrant labors: she would travel thousands of miles with her grandfather to visit them; lying on her father’s leg and crying silently is her way of resisting saying goodbye; Tears flooded her eyes so violently that she didn't says any words when her mother had to leave earlier than planned to start working during the spring festival. However, life goes on no matter they are ready or not. She struggles to survive in the suffering of separation while at the mean time, she must learn to forget this painfulness and pretend to live like a normal kid who enjoys her time in school with peers. She, like a mature adult, can make her younger brother cry and then burst into laughs. Their life is filled with tears and laughter as they grow up happily and toughly. “Sadness” is not supposed to be the first image of these unattended children. Even though they have to withstand the loneliness and desperation that are not normally experienced by their peers, they still have their share of happiness and innocence. They contribute to maybe a minor section of this era but their very existence still leaves marks on this thriving generation filled with variations.
