Synopsis
This is the fourth film in my Zoujiacun series within the Folk Memory Project. In 2013, I came back to my village and saw the trash all over the village. The children and I tried to improve the environment of our village. This was a tough fight against the trash and the attitudes of the villagers. I felt like that the trash was in my heart. The lonely, solitary life of 95-year-old Grandma Sha and her 49-year-old son, Xizhu, is also portrayed in this film. This film is about the progress that I fight with myself.
