Program Note
Farewell, My Hometown consists of three episodes. In the first episode, an elderly woman living in the mountains reflects on her life and recounts experiences of excruciating poverty, hard labor, and her child’s death, as the beautiful mountain and forest landscape fills the screen. The second episode is narrated by a woman in her 20s. Living with her boyfriend in an apartment full of boxes, she recounts the solitude she’d felt after moving to Beijing to live in the dance school dormitory. As if hinting at her continuous loneliness, segmented shots of apartments of various sizes are shown in the background. The third episode is the story of a middleaged teacher who takes to the stage. She reflects on her college years in the 1980s, when she enjoyed a different kind of freedom than that of her parents′ generation and was in love with a poor working-class man. The difficult lives of the three generations of women are overlapped in lyrical and poetic images. (PARK Sun Young)
