棉花是天上的云

Cotton is the Clouds in the Sky

Around the year 2000 AD, it was reported in the news that about two million cotton pickers rush to the vast land of Xinjiang every year, just like migratory birds, arriving in September and leaving in November. With curiosity, I also joined this "migratory bird" team and headed straight to the Xinjiang farm thousands of miles away. The train was very crowded, and among the cotton pickers who were mostly female workers, the vast and beautiful Xinjiang surprised these "migratory birds" for the first time. The hardships and joy in Xinjiang's cotton fields were also their first experiences. This film is the memory of me joining the migratory bird team as a cotton picker.
