    Synopsis

    In 1957, the Chinese government launched an “Anti-Rightist” campaign to crack down on anyone suspected of opposing the regime. The worst offenders were sent to remote farms for forced labor. This film documents a group of intellectuals who were persecuted during the Anti-Rightist Movement and exiled to the “Jiangnan Station” at the Malan Re-education Through Labor Farm in Xunyi County, Shaanxi Province. The five survivors who can now be found, all over 80 years old, recall the Anti-Rightist Movement at Xi'an University and the cruel and inhumane torture they suffered in the “Jiangnan Station” labor camp,and what they think about history now.
