In early March 2016, Bai Suzhen, Bao Chengjie, and Cai Yuanli finally met again at Bai Suzhen's home at Dartmouth College. Facing Bai Suzhen, Shi Qingzhao started editing and processing Chinese storytelling art videos that he shot in 1982 and lasted for more than 30 years. These videos include performances and lectures, some in China and some in the United States. Read more about these artists's bios on the Credits page.
Some of them have been damaged due to poor preservation over a long period of time. Among more than 100 videotapes, we picked out a small number of tapes with classic content, digitized and edited them, added subtitles, pictures, and wrote descriptions to the actors and works. In three and a half months, the preliminary editing of this nearly 30-hour video for audiences in the United States and China was completed. Looking back at the simple stage when we filmed it, and looking at the video processing we did our best today, although it is undecorated, it records history. We hope to bring a little beauty to the viewers and leave a unique historical memory. This is also a mark left on the road we have walked.
