新堡

新堡是一个比较偏远的山区村庄。 村脚下有一座小煤矿，由于过度的开采，导致山体变形，房屋裂缝。 在政府“新农村建设”的倡导之下，普洞村委规划将新堡人全部迁入即将建好的“小洋楼”之中……
影片描绘了一组居住在新堡的人民的群像，其中有来自全国各地矿工，奥运开幕，煤矿勒令停产，他们失业；以及当地的村民，如在矿难中失去了两个儿子的范老太太和两个孙子；仍以种地为生的老韩和老王, 在煤矿事故中瘫痪的韩斌，村里年青人在他家赌博，村委的选举，基督徒的礼拜等等.影片最后，新楼正建，旧房被拆。新年到了，村民祭祀祈福……

Synopsis：
New Castle is a remote rural village where houses and mountains have been distorted due to excessive mining. Under the “New Village”campaign, all the villagers will be moved into the nearly completed Luxury Buildings. The documentary depicts the life of two groups of people, miners and villagers. The miners who are from all over the country, lost their jobs because of the Olympic Games in Beijing – the mine was shut down to make the air less polluted. The villagers had no better luck. Granny Fan lost two sons and two grandsons in a mining accident. Old Han and Old Wang are still farming. Some youngsters are gambling in the house of Han Bin, who was crippled in another mining accident. In the film, you can also see the village election, the service of local Christians, and people worshipping for a better year to come.

平遥县普洞村是一个地处比较偏远的山区，我曾在此工作五年。2007年再次回来，村民生活依旧，而此时村委正为响应政府“建设社会主义新农村”号召，依山而建一排排二层“小洋楼”。当我想到这些生活清苦的农民和矿工，即将搬入那二层小楼时，不禁感慨万分。不知新建的楼房能否给他们的生活带来所谓的幸福？国家叙事表达出的繁荣盛世，与人民的生活感受是否一致？
一些人在政府的功利主义之下失去了自已的家园，一些人为了生存不知不觉中毁灭了自己的家园，而外来的矿工则为了生活不得不离开自已的家园。当整个社会企图用“城市化”的理想模式急速取代“乡村社会”时，我们的家园在何处？


Director’s Statement:
I worked in there and went back to visit in 2007. When I thought about those poor peasants about to move into the new buildings, I couldn’t help wondering if the new homes would indeed bring them happiness. Is the government’s narrative of a prosperous society consistent with how people really feel?
Some people lost their home due to the government’s decision, some people destryoed their home for a living without knowing it, and some people had to leave their home to make a living. Where is home when the society rushes to the ideal of urbanization and uproots the traditional rural society? I want to film their daily work and life to show the living situations of comtemporary rural people.
