龙须沟

Aging craftsman Cheng Baoqing has spent decades in the dilapidated slums of Longxugou, where open sewage ditches and crumbling dwellings define daily existence. His world is one of resilient routine amidst pervasive poverty.

Yet the path to renewal proves fraught with unexpected costs, threatening to erase the very community bonds that sustained them through hardship. Personal sacrifices collide with the machinery of urban progress in this intimate portrait of a vanishing way of life.
