About
Director Xiong Zaixia notes: "A 'she' (commune) is the smallest administrative unit since the Tang Dynasty. She Gong is also known as Soil-Ground or Lord of the Soil. I have found that I captured and edited Soil-Grounds in my video works unconsciously. That made me recall something. So I returned to my hometown Shunde, Guangdong several times to shoot and record over 60 Lords of the Soil in Lunjiao Town’s eastern and western villages. I want to explore how such a traditional Chinese folk belief roots geographically, becomes embedded in one’s memory, and shapes a population’s behavior."
