Weiyena – A Long March Home

Gloria Kino

Weina was born in China before her parents emigrated. Vienna is her home until the young woman realizes that she knows almost nothing about her roots. Time for her to ask questions. In her Chinese home country, she talks with her relatives. Up until the Cultural Revolution, there were communist intellectuals on the mother’s side, and poor rural residents on the father’s side. Along the family history, illustrated by impressive archive material, China’s eventful history of the last 100 years opens up to her. For Weina, an occasion to reflect on ideology and identity.
