Michelangelo Antonioni and his crew filming in a Henan province village for his documentary Chung Kuo in 1972. |
It's 1972 and a man rides his bicycle down a Beijing street, takes his hands off the handlebars and starts practicing tai chi. In another scene, on another day, in a Henan province village, a group of primary school students read their textbooks out loud, with blank expressions, as if they do not understand the characters.
