Left Behind

0.0(0)20251h 26m1

In China, over 69 million children have been left behind by their parents in their home villages while they migrate to big cities to survive. Qui Che (14) was left by his mother with his grandparents. He was 4 years old when his father tragically took his own life due to their financial situation. He grew up lonely with unbearable burdens to help his grandparents with farm work. He vents his difficulties by writing diaries that provide a glimpse into his inner world. His story reveals a personal journey filled with emotional, familial, and societal challenges, especially the absence of his mother, who returns home once in three years. The film is a microcosm of the universal migration tendencies around the world.
