Narrators/performers, Ying Lee-Kelly, Dewi Yee ; interviews/performances, Wu Tian Ming, Mayfair Yang (translator), Clairmonte Moore.Summary: Reflecting on Mao's famous saying, "Let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend," this film explores the maze of allegorical naming and storytelling in China and attempts to realize on screen the shifts of interpretation in contemporary Chinese culture and politics. Ponders questions of power and change, politics and culture, as refracted by the events in Tienanmen Square. The film layers Chinese popular songs and classical music, the sayings of Mao and Confucius, women's voices and the words of artists, philosophers and other cultural workers. Also discusses the Chinese film industry and censorship.
