Through various texts and spoken diaries oblique reference is made to the persistence of the imagination; the dark, wild wood of Dante's Inferno with Paolo and Francescs buffeted on an infernal breeze, whilst an iconoclasic re-depiction of a Renaissance painting of the deposition by Raphael, describes an age in which the reality of death and grief were less hidden.

The Temptation of Tibet

1988 • 50 min

This film is based on the image of three generations of devout monks pilgrimages, an ode to the noble spirit of those who pilgrimage. It's also a film that focuses on, and emphasizes, aesthetic values. Due to the beautiful picture and unrestrained language, in the creation of TV films, the technique of handheld camerawork was used earlier than in films, and the expression of subjective emotions is boldly expressed. Therefore, "The Temptation of Tibet" was one major step in the Chinese film industry's creation. It is regarded as a representative of early handheld filmmaking in China. The film was completed in 1988, and won the first prize of the first national video contest, the national TV literary starlight award, and the excellent writing award.
