Director Statement

In the past 30 years,almost every college student in China has experienced military training. As an experiencer, everyone has their own feelings about it.In my school days,I've been in this annual "educational experiment" many times, but I still hard to explain the meaning of military training. I hope this film will give people a chance to look on and think about it calmly.
