Director‘s Statement:
The film is an inside story about a diaspora of Chinese migrants who have been moving around the world
—their pains, struggles, their ways of survival. It is also an examination of where they are heading as China becomes a world economic power. On top of that, while humanity is under attack by extremism, we hope to tell a story of hope for “symbiosis” from a Chinese perspective.
As a Chinese Muslim and descendent of immigrants, I belong to so-called ‘minority’ population in China. My childhood memory is a mixture of adaptation, integration and rejection. This experience plays an important role for my film works which often deal with multi-layered identity of an immigrant.
