China's Ethnic Minorities｜The Life of Dong People

Dali Dong Village, situated deep in the mountains in the region of Guizhou, China. There are around 1000 people living there who belong to the Dong Ethnic Minorities. I visited the village in February, when there were not many activities going on due to the cold weather. Fortunately, there was a wedding ceremony in the village. I had the opportunity to witness the wedding traditions and taste many Chinese local food. In this video, I tried to document the life of the Dong people as much as I can, from embroidering flower ribbons to the Dong chorus. I hope you will have some understanding of the Dong ethnic group through this video.

There are 56 ethnic groups in China, but as young people gradually move to cities, the culture and traditions of those ethnic groups are disappearing. And many original villages have become ghost towns. As a Chinese, I hope to use my lens to capture China’s rich and colorful national culture, which is the purpose of making this video. This is my first time making this type of documentary. There are many areas of improvements. Any advice is welcomed. And thank you for watching this video:)
