Passengers on public transportation, tourists on the beach, students, factory and construction workers. One of the greatest auteurs of contemporary Chinese cinema creates a series of portraits that bring everyday man into focus and capture different facets of this vast country's society. Carefully composed frames with the use of a static camera, yet with movement always there somewhere in the picture, giving the impression of moving photographs in which there is always something more to discover.
