Don’t let the glittering tower, luxury houses and neon lights deceive you. Although China has experienced a profound economic change in recent decades, the amazing exterior wall of assets has covered a more complicated reality, which is currently under the current non -elite class of the country. The VPRO backlight series “Chinese Bladder” studies this problem through personal portrait and reveal analysis.
The country’s current economic model will only deepen the imbalance between the rich and the poor. At the beginning of the movie, we met a young taxi driver Li Jie, who transported many richest residents in Beijing. Unfortunately, Jie felt that her Chinese dream would stay outdoors forever. The driver is suppressing himself, but he can’t even afford the most basic life of comfort. It reveals the new custom between the rich people in the region; you buy new apartments and provide it for free until the market rises, you can make a maximum profit. The driver was annoyed that the driver could not afford his appropriate living space, and pulled his taxi to the roadside and took pictures of these open spaces. These pictures are almost forensic evidence.
Many of China’s assets are generated by real estate. We understand that 70 % of real estate in Shanghai is either sold to ordinary customers, or it is sold to the rich who cannot live in the country. The wealth generated by these businesses has never run on the poor and poor citizens who need it most.
The film contains an interview with Wang Jianlin, the richest real estate tycoon in China, and announced that everyone in the country can use economic prosperity. This idea was made by the scene of Feng Lun. Wages for salary.
In the past ten years, China’s development has been tripled, but the country’s per capita income is still lower than most industrialized countries in the world. According to a theme of the movie interview, China’s political leaders are unlikely to continue to act like a “Wall Street Merchant”. Chinese bladder shows us this increasingly unequal tragic person.
