All my works serve the particular people I am filming

‘For me, filmmaking is not that complicated. If you make a film about Wang Xilin, that will let people know more about his experiences, his thoughts and what he is like now. All my works serve the particular people I am filming, so it’s enough to just figure out and narrate the stories of these people clearly. As for how others think when they rewatch the film, that’s something else.’
