Documentary
As a kind of traditional handmade paper in the area of Ninghua in western Fujian Province, Yukou paper is named after its soft and delicate quality as well as white and jade-like color. It is the best of handmade papers and needs to go through several complicated and elaborate processes. In a small village deep in the Wuyi Mountains, Xikeng, there were once more than five hundred paper mills, but now only one remains, still struggling to survive. The film crew focused their camera on the paper maker Hu Lanshan's family, quietly recording the process of making Yukou paper, the joys and sorrows of the paper maker’s family, and the changes of the whole era...
