Program Note
From 2014 to 2019, Wang Bing filmed workers in the Chinese garment district of Zhili in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province. In 18,000 workshops, 300,000 migrant workers who have left home to toil for low wages, working 15-hour days. Youth (Homecoming) is the third chapter in the trilogy of films that follow the workers in the workshops of Zhili, following Youth (Hard Times). In 2016, the workers return home for the Spring Festival. Mu Fei and Dong Mingyan embark on long journeys to visit their parents and relatives, bearing gifts, yet they worry about the future. Shi Wei and Liang Xianglian return to their hometown in the mountains to hold a traditional wedding. Chen Qingtao returns home alone and eats with his parents in silence. Fang Lingping heads home with her husband. Each to their own home, and then back to Zhili. In 2018, during the Spring Festival, Lin Shao and Chen Wenting visit home for the first time after their wedding and the birth of their child. Everyone returns home. Yet late at night, a man remains in an empty factory, working alone. It is the Lunar New Year. (JUNG Sung-il)
