Director‘s Statement:
In this film, I did not try to control the whole story, but just relying on a long wait, changing the perspective and method of observation, and making predictions based on reality, so as to be closer to the reality of ordinary life.
In addition to leaving behind the appearance in history, the image also preserves every vivid human nature. The change of the individual to reflect the change of the group is the means of the storyteller. In this film, a pristine village begins to change under the influence of development. But it reflects the general situation under the rapid economic development of our country, or in other words, it is the same everywhere in the world under the background of globalization. Here, an original Tiankeng has become a tourist area; there, an ancient village has become a city. The improvement of economy has not only changed people's way of life, but also changed the way of emotional communication between people.
