Overall

Wugou Village faces cultural erasure as young people migrate away. The ancestral farmlands and grand Huofang estates have become hollow monuments. A-Lan and her friend A-Mei remain within these quiet walls. Their daily exchanges capture the profound resilience and quiet fate of traditional Hakka women.
