I wrote this after reading an interview with Xu Xin (http://bit.ly/1ktCxUB) where he describes his process of coming to Karamay in 2007 and shooting the film; but you are absolutely correct in noting that it wasn’t released until 2010.

A couple links with pictures worth checking out:

One last thing: this film was released in 2010. Where did you come up with 2007?
