A Home Far Away from Home

"A Home Far Away from Home" was filmed between 1992 and 1993, recording the life course of a group of babysitters from Wuwei County in Anhui Province who have traveled to Beijing. The five rural girls -- Zhang Jufang, Xie Suping and Liu Chunhua -- all came from Wuwei County, Anhui Province. According to local customs, when a daughter grows up, she has to go outside and go out for herself. The most appropriate work is to work as a nanny. "A Home Far Away from Home" records these girls' lives in the following year. This is a bumpy life of a year. Looking for a job, being fired, and then looking for a job that suits you, looking for a place to live in a place far away from your hometown, and facing difficulties alone. In addition to the living conditions of the five rural girls, the film also extensively recorded the phenomenon of the "migrant worker tide" in the early 1990s, and made various manifestations of its background, problems and development direction.
