But in the face of institutional chaos, she finally chose to compromise and continue the cat and mouse game.The old man is a Christian, is he helpless in obedience to fate? How many people's melody played by the Huqin sounded in the smog of Beijing?
CAST & CREW
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Cui Zhaosong
Director
The main motivation for my shooting comes from my protagonist—small merchants, buskers, urban management, or people in a hurry or leisurely life who make a living on the streets of Shuangjing. Together, they form the ecosystem of Shuangjing. I live in it, I am one of them. Unlike them, I am an observer and recorder.I belong to the bottom class like them, but they are not marginal. They are the majority of China. The real marginal ones are actually me, a third party.I entered their lives and affected them to a certain extent. I tried to use their resistance to gain some hope; through their compromise, to gain some reflection; through recording all this, to find back what we lack in common thing.
