China in the Red
China in the Red, a documentary film about people’s lives during the economical reforms of 1998-2002, was shown to us today in Dror Kogan’s wonderful "Urban Society in Contemporary China - Changes" course. The movie deals with the personal story of various people from different locations and social status struggling with the shock China went through when the good old Danwei working-units and government owned factories were transformed, together with the whole economy, into capitalist and profit oriented companies. It was touching, it was sad, it was fascinating, it was an overwhelming movie experience about real people going through profound changes in today’s China.
For those of you who are interested in China and haven’t seen it yet, it’s available for free on their website.
Together with the wonderful morning session about the birth of the Chinese Communist party with Yori, a funny Mandarin Chinese session with Avia and an economical analysis of Japan’s Main Bank system with Yaffe, I feel very fortunate that I can spend some of my free time attending fascinating courses that I enjoy.
