Program sees young directors tell China's story
China DailyPakistani student Usama Kalim shoots his documentary, part of the Looking China Youth Film Project, on a street in Chongqing’s Wanzhou district. While in China, Kalim joined the Looking China Youth Film Project and directed a short documentary about a young Chinese man named Lang Xiaoyong who gave up his job in the big city and chose to start a business near his hometown in the countryside. The project, co-hosted by the Huilin Foundation and the Academy for International Communication of Chinese Culture since 2011, aims to present Chinese culture to the world through the lens of young foreign filmmakers and promote communication between China's younger generation and those overseas. "Rising from a backward situation, China has made a serious effort to develop, and now that China owns a number of the world's cutting-edge technologies, it has begun to help other countries," says Kalim, adding that he sees Lang's life experience as a typical example of the rapid and positive changes in the country.
