The film concerns poets in Southern China who, while enduring arduous, sometimes hazardous conditions in working-class occupations, preserve their spirits with verse. Its inspiration is Xu Lizhi, the 24-year-old poet and laborer at a Foxconn electronics factory in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, who leapt to his death in 2014. Mr. Xu was one of the countless workers from the countryside who travel to China\u2019s growing cities seeking employment, only to be eaten alive by the tedious, pitiless demands of industry.
\nThe film\u00a0examines four living poets, some writing pseudonymously. The young Blackbird (whose real name is Wu Niaoniao) attends a job fair and performs at a reading with other worker-poets. Lucky Chen (Chen Nianxi), a demolitions expert, risks his life daily underground while tending a paralyzed father and aging mother living in rural squalor. Old Coalmine (Lao Jing), a coal miner for 25 years, writes of \u201cghosts between coal seams and rock crevices.\u201d In her poem \u201cSundress,\u201d Dawn (Wu Xia), 33, a seamstress since she was 14, considers the affluent woman who will enjoy the fruits of her labor amid wealth Ms. Wu will never know.
\nWith arresting images,\u00a0The Qin Xiaoyu and Wu Feiyue documentary powerfully addresses China\u2019s moral crisis in the wake of economic prosperity. Today, \u201cif you don\u2019t have money or power, it\u2019s really hard,\u201d says Xu Lizhi\u2019s father. Especially if you\u2019re working the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14116,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_meta":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[376,2229],"tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"2.8.11","language":"en","enabled_languages":["it","en"],"languages":{"it":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true}}},"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-13 20:08:56","action":"category-remove","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinedetour.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14112"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinedetour.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinedetour.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinedetour.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinedetour.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14112"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/cinedetour.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14112\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15100,"href":"https:\/\/cinedetour.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14112\/revisions\/15100"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinedetour.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinedetour.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinedetour.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinedetour.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
