Contents Summary
Tokyo based Swiss photographer Andreas Seibert has been working since 2002 on a photographic documentation about life and work of China¹s migrant rural workers (Mingong). Swiss filmmaker Villi Hermann in 2006, 2007 and 2008 followed Andreas Seibert through China. They traveled from the booming south (Shenzhen/Guangdong/Guangzhou) to the fallow land of the north (Liaoning and Inner Mongolia Aut. Reg.). They visited migrant workers at their workplaces and went to see their simple, temporary tin huts. And they traveled back to the migrant workers hometowns to visit the families the workers had to leave behind. Some 150 million people have already set out from underdeveloped rural provinces to earn their living in the growth centres of China The migrant rural worker's stories are told in a collection of striking photographs that provide a close-up portrait to complement the current discussion of economic growth in China. With its combination of photographs and video images, this documentary movie conveys a unique impression of the scale of this modern migration – the largest in human history.
