Study On The Production Of Documentary The City Of Suqing

The particular type of documentary who focuses on people has always been very popular. Suqing's City, however, is nothing alike to others of the same subject. This documentary is about a 75-year-old woman named Gong Suqing rebuilding and retrieving her long-forgotten childhood memories by searching through every street in Chengdu.Finally in the form of painting she rebuilds the streets of her childhood in the fifties and seventies. At the same time, by her description of the old city's environmental settings, we are able to go back to the old street where we played in our chilhood and to look for old neighborhoods, with a view to stimulating people's another fantasies about the memories and history of urban areas. Resorting to the realism technique, this documentary records Gong Suqing's childhood memories, Gong's painting process as well as the changes in urban streets with simple yet rich narrative scenes. This documentary creates Gong Suqing's"map" in a three-dimensional way and looks at her and her drawing "map" in a poetic view,so as to inspire other people's fantasy about old memory and the history.
