Pu Chengping's family are moving from their old house to a new house. It is a greatly important event, the same as a marriage. The local people call it "Shang Xin Fang - move to new house". To help celebrate properly, Pu Chengping's family will choose a good day to hold a moving ceremony, by asking Chinese astrologers to make the auspisous time. They will kill pigs and cattle, enough to hold a 3-4-day celebration banquet. According to the custom all the village folk including children will come to help. After the feast, everyone will sing together playing their traditional instruments and dance. They want to follow the old traditions, but the family really do not know exactly how the procedure should be. Through the ceremony of "Shang Xin Fang", the film reflects the improvement of the life of ethnic minorities in the mountainous area, and also shows the impact of economic development on the traditional culture of ethnic minorities. |

C'est une histoire déchirante. Très touchant (no pun intended). (Your documentary and commentary had me in tears. A story that rips you, very touching. (no pun intended.) Sheila Lewis Kanter Jeanne . . . had never seen this before! Such a moving “peek” into a very different world from our own. Thank you! It was short’n sweet. But powerful.
