红白蓝

故事梗概 Synopsis
　　还有十来天就要过年了，湖南某处在建的高速公路工地上，来自重庆开县的民工田师傅夫妇和表弟三人还在漫天飞雪中埋头劳作，只能在休息的片刻里憧憬着故乡和新春。
　　It will be the Spring Festival in around ten days. While it’s snowing heavily, Mr. and Mrs. Tian and the cousin who are migrant workers from Kai County Chongqing City are still working hard in a highway building site somewhere in Hu’nan Province. They can only long for their hometown and Spring Festival during short break.
　　导演阐述 Director’s statement
　　众所周知，红白蓝在西方象征博爱、自由、平等。但在中国，这三种色彩可没这么高贵，
　　我只知道它们是工地上最常见的色彩。作为一种廉价的塑料彩条布，它们遍布工地，一会是遮风挡雨的工棚，一会是分割混居空间的帘子，一会是装满杂物的行李包，全身上下散发着民工和劳动的粗粝气息。至于它们具体象征什么精神，我也搞不清楚。我只不过刚好路过那里，即兴地用三个长镜头默默地记录下了它们的主人工作和生活的三个片段。我觉得这些片段比我的长片离真正意义上的纪录片更近。
　　Red, white and blue stand for freedom, equality and fraternity in western world as is well known. But in China, these colors are much humbler. As I know they are very common in the building site. It is a kind of cheap plastic fabric with colorful stripe, which is used everywhere in the building site. Sometimes as tents which shield people from bad circumstance, sometimes as curtains which separate living spaces, sometimes as bags which contain luggage, it wholly expresses the rough feeling which belongs to labour. But I have no idea about the spirit which these colors represent. I just passed by occasionally, and recorded the working and living scenes of the workers who own these colors with three improvised long takes. I think these scenes are closer to the essence of documentary than my feature films.
