Story:
Hakkas live in Nanfeng Town with Limiao and Zhangzhou people. Yang Xiaobo is a folk song singer. One day he sets off to collect folk songs of neighboring villages and towns. Ye Weitong is the friend of Yang Xiaobo’s son and invites me to visit his village. Ye Fangkui, elder brother of Weitong’s grandfather lives in the ancestral house. He could basically take care of himself but is already very old. At Lantern Festival, villagers lift sacred palanquins on the street to celebrate. But this tradition has been banned. The administrator of the Temple of the Lady of God asks the local government for permission. The villagers rush to the blocked street but are sent back. The only choice is to return after the police get off work.

Director‘s Statement:
Chinese societies are united through kinship. Collectivism, the symbol of kinship, is shown by religious statues, temples, and rituals of ancestor veneration. Our weak soul(data) parasitizes the biological body(hard-drive) installation. Only when the base of our existence - the body is seen can our thoughts be known. However, individualism has a very complicated relationship with collectivism.
We should be alert to what we human beings have created. We are either restricted by the systems or the industry created by us. The true sense of romanticism lies in individual romanticism. So live your life.
