Yu Guangyi

WriterDirector
Yu Guangyi (Chinese: 于广义), born in 1961 in Heilongjiang Province, studied at the Chinese Academy of Art in Hangzhou, before working for several years as a woodcut print artist. In 2004 he returned to his home village and made the film Mu Bang (Timber Gang or The Last Lumberjacks) that in 2007 won the Best Director Prize and the Jury Prize at the Seoul Film Festival. A year later his second documentary Xiao li zi (The Survival Song) explored the rapid industrialization of a village, focusing on one of its inhabitants, a former forest gamekeeper named Han who illegally hunts bears to keep his family going. The film won two awards at Seoul and the Jury Prize at Tokyo Filmex. Yu Guangyi’s films give center stage those who have been left behind in the rush for progress in a country where the divide between rich and poor grows deeper every day.

Bachelor Mountain

Bachelor Mountain

In his third film on life and work in the (once) heavily wooded north of China, Yu Guangyi (Survival Song) follows the lonely San Liangzi (46), who for the past ten years has been in love with a woman who doesn’t like men much. Intimate and revealing, but never rude. A moving and human portrait of a group of unemployed and above all lonely men who stayed behind when their wives moved to the city looking for work. They worked in the timber industry in the province of Heilongjiang, but deforestation has taken its toll. For instance, we see 46-year-old San Liangzi. Twelve years ago, he divorced his wife and became unemployed. For 10 years, he has had an eye on Wang Meizi, the only unmarried woman in the area. But the love is not mutual.
