Liming is a worker district close to Shanghai - the richest city in China. Every year, many young people leave their villages and move there. They are between 17 and 20, all from rural Yunnan province, 2,500 km west, where the Yangtze River has its source. These young Yunnaneses often live at their place of work, in dormitories, unsanitary rooms, or sometimes in small studios. Time and space to meet is missing them. So, they communicate through QQ, MSN China. They live as adults but they are teenagers.

EXT. TO DRAG OR NOT TO DRAG THAT IS THE QUESTION - DAY I appreciate the awareness that Wang Bing is trying to raise in the first 90 minutes of the film. It’s the same message at 120 minutes into the film, and it’s the same message at 212 minutes. I’m trying to say that it could have been shorter and had the same impact. FADE OUT.
