Last Train Home (2011)

This paper is based on the documentary film – Last Train Home (2011, 88

three among the 130 million migrant workers in China, who travelled back
to their hometown every winter during the spring festival.

‘Every spring, China’s cities are plunged into chaos as an astonishing
130 million migrant workers journey to their home villages for the New
Year’s holiday. This mass exodus is the largest human migration on the
planet, an epic spectacle that reveals a country tragically caught
between its rural past and industrial future. Working over several years
in classic verite, Chinese-Canadian filmmaker Lixin Fan… travels with
one couple who have embarked on this annual trek for almost two decades.
Emotionally engaging and starkly beautiful, Last Train Home’s intimate
observation of one fractured family sheds light on the human cost of
China’s ascendance as an economic superpower.’ — Container
