缅北高地来的女人
Since the 1990s, women from Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Vietnam, and Cambodia have been introduced or lured into mainland China, often becoming tools for childbirth. The film’s protagonist, Larry, was born in northern Myanmar. As a child, she broke her leg while collecting firewood in the mountains. Due to a lack of funds for treatment, she was left with a disability. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, she followed her aunt to northern China and married a man much older than herself. They lived together for over a decade and had two children. During this period, Larry left home, married a young man, and had a daughter. In the sweltering summer, Larry returned to her hometown in northern Myanmar.
