“I traveled with the crew to painter Liu Xiaodong’s hometown of Jincheng in Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, where I saw the world's largest coastal reed wetland and it was truly awe-inspiring.”

In this documentary, director Hung-i Yao turns his lens to one of China’s best-known figurative painters—Liu Xiaodong—as he makes a solemn return to his hometown of Jincheng in North-East China. There, he has a nostalgic goal: to re-paint his community nearly thirty years after he left at the young age of 17. Through its unfiltered portrayal of Liu’s practice, the unadorned doc serves as a portrait of an artist’s ability, and a love letter to the community that shaped him.
