China Me (2014)

At its heart, the excavation of language: the vibrating strings of a guqin, the relentless tapping of a pickaxe as it chips away at the last remnant of traditional values, the ring of truths shared by those left on the sidelines of progress. And while Huo Datong analyzes the characters in his country's 6,000-year-old language for keys to the unconscious of the Chinese, the poems of Zhai Yong Ming take the night watch.
