Luo Village: I and Ren Dingqi

This documentary follows Luo Bing as he returns to his hometown, Luo village, to connect with its history. Through interviews with older residents, he uncovers the somber events of the famine that occurred between 1959 and 1961. The film highlights the importance of personal stories and memories in understanding collective trauma.

Luo Bing's relationship with his neighbor, Ren Dingqi, adds a unique layer to the film. Although Ren wrote a memoir about his experiences, he did not share it with Luo Bing, which raises questions about memory and storytelling. As Luo Bing learns more about the village's past, viewers are invited to reflect on how personal narratives shape communal history.
