Director's statement
This is my third film. I don’t talk about my father any more: enough is enough. A report written in 1978 popped up accidently during house cleaning. It was signed by my father at the end. I found a file in an old bookstore, written by Shen Dexing. He was labelled a Rightist, and abandoned in a village for his rest life. From then on, he kept petitioning. This has commonalities with my father’s story; the two different stories support each other, which is the basis of my story.
