Director‘s Statement / Feedback
"Factory Boys" was filmed in 2013. At that time, I was also a post-90s who was in my second year of college. I had a passion for shooting something. I subconsciously pointed the camera at the three factories in the factory and faced the confusion of the future. The young people born in the 90s are trying to pry into the mental outlook of the new generation of migrant workers from their confusion and anxiety.
At that time, the Guangdong factories had not yet begun to shift. No one could expect that in a few years, their anxiety is not just about staying in this city or breaking a road. The world situation is unpredictable, and they will always be on the cusp.
