🇨🇳 Making a Chinese Man - Witness

According to The Economist, more than a million Chinese households a month have moved into the middle class since 2000.
Like many other young Chinese, Chen Guojie is desperate to earn a wage and stand on his own feet.
He has no desire to take over the tiny silk factory his parents risked everything to build in eastern China. He wants a higher paid, less stressful job in the city.
But achieving the Chinese dream isn't easy.
Witness follows Guojie over four years as he fights the urge to drop out of university, tackles problems at home and finds the love of his life.
A coming of age story about big dreams and difficult decisions in a country changing at an extraordinary pace.

El protagonista de esta película y su familia son de mi misma área en China, ver su dificultades y problemas me han dado mucho sobre que pensar y ademas una nueva prospectiva sobre mí existencia.

[@grasshopper1988]

good documentary

[@yixiangharry]

21:25 Proposed, so romantic

[@Shhtteeve]

As a Brit on our tiny island I find these documentaries fascinating. It's so interesting watching people try and hurdle and navigate their career where there are often so much pressure to stand out from so many equally capable candidates/rivals/friends. Is there a nack to this or does every one work hard as stink making it inevitably harder for everyone involved?

[@mi-thran-dirsbeard.4222]

This one was good. Nice one Al Jazeera.

[@ellashy6539]

[@orangedac]

Don't make fun of him. He must have suffered 3rd degree burns to his face and had plastic surgery. His life must be hard enough as it is without people making fun of him. At least he's still trying to make it academically and has not given up on life.

[@shumeiyang1024]

It's funny how they say god of machines because they just as well may have prayed for deus ex machina

[@legnakoorbloh3970]

does everyone eat with their mouth wide open like a cow chewing cud

[@Areuakiller]

God of the Earth is the God of Heaven you may pray and worship idols but there are but metal and plastics and can not hear you neither answer. My God is the living and my body his temple here I pray and my God of the living of the Earth and the Heaven answers.

[@orueom7720]

マスター禅 we'll see about that.... repent before its too late
