This film is the second segment of my “Autobiography Series.” From the moment when my mother disclosed a long kept secret, my birth was accompanied by many struggles for my mother. Those “struggles” include: during pregnancy, “should this child be kept,” to the painful struggles in the delivery process. Struggles have also accompanied since I was born, becoming part of my life.

Self-Portrait: Fairy Tale in 47KM（《自画像：47公里童话》）
Director: Zhang Mengqi
109 minutes | 2021
This is the ninth film of “47 KM” series. In 2019, I spent my tenth winter in “47 KM” village. On one of the village’s hills, a new space is coming into being, from children’s drawing paper to the solid ground, from a fairy tale to the reality. Why did I name this film Fairy Tale? Why do we need fairy tales? In 2020, I started editing this film, it was a special year. It seems to me to be a reboot, a reconfirmation of the present and the future.
