The filmmaker spent eight weeks with his filming crew in Beijing, Nanquim, Suzhou, Xangai and at the Henan province. As a result, a three-hour long monument of his visits to the countries’ towns and rural areas, in a key moment of the 20th Century. The film caused great rage among the Chinese authorities and remained forbidden in the country until 2004. Even in the West, the movie only began to circulate again in 2009, two years after the death of the filmmaker.
