Shot in Datong, a coal mining town in Shanxi. A thriving city in the 50s and 60s, with its architecture resulting from the coal industry. In 2002, capitalism had made workers redundant and factories empty…. I filmed the place more than specific people. The subject is a public place and the camera should not interfere, hence the use of mini DV.
