Director‘s Statement:
After graduation from university, I had been travelling for years, which reduced the contact with the middle school classmates who still working in the county. Once, I was surprised to hear that the college graduates need to pass the examination of English and mathematics to be able to be a waiter and a miner. A few years ago, when the coal price was increasing, the job like waiter or miner in the local was pretty well paid, but in recent years the coal price was falling down so that I could not understand why they seek for these jobs. At last, I get to know that the answer is "stable". This means that you can find a same profession to marry; you can also confidently tell the family that you work in state-owned enterprises. In this process, some people get married, some people disappeared, and some people have babies. By contacting with the classmates in the county, I strongly feel the lonely, that the things are still there, but men are no more the same ones, that is about to enter the adult life in fear. At graduation, I would like to express the strongest feelings of these years.
