Way of Fortune
Release Year:
2007
Story:
"Mazu" or "The Sea God" has been the most important religious belief of ordinary people in my hometown for four hundred years. Along the coast of China and even in the Nanyang region, there is at least one temple dedicated to Mazu in various seaside cities-this geographical and historical distribution coincides with the contemporary economic or industrial area of Chinese society. It is frustrating that rapid economic development has led to global warming. The factories located on the coast of southern China from all over the world will eventually cause flooding and inundate these temples dedicated to Mazu. This is indeed a very ironic discovery for our civilization, "We", not only Chinese or all human beings, now or in the past, how can we Chinese avoid this upcoming tragedy?

Director‘s Statement:
I have always believed that there must be a spiritual and historical core meaning in the rapidly developing Chinese society today. It is closely embedded in the concrete things in the lives of ordinary people. This film is trying to explore this core. significance.
