This book is very in-depth. Jia Zhangke recorded his thoughts on society and history in words, which allowed me to see the story behind the movie. The ordinary people in his movies always remind me of the people around me, and they resonate very much. As he said, "Why do people have slavery, class, wealth and poverty on this earth?" These questions are really worth thinking about. I think this book is a bit similar to "Xiao Wu". They both tell the stories of ordinary people and let us see real life. Jia Zhangke is really a thoughtful director!
Director Jia's film memoirs are also an exploration of private memories. Maybe we have a clear understanding of the world in the journey of life. However, when we look back on the past, there are always so many coincidences and subtleties, just like when he left the county town, his father stood on the city wall and watched him leave.
