纪录片《初三》是我继《路》《村小的孩子》推出的以留守儿童为题材的第三部作品,也是我家乡三部曲的最后一部。
纪录片《初三》更主要的是想用镜头探讨教育,再就是想用镜头关注和了解从小在缺爱和教育下的留守儿童,当他们不步入青春叛逆期的变化。本想拍摄学校的普通班的,由于种种原因,跟拍的是重点班,但一样让我们思考和反思。
我自2009年毕业,一直用镜头关注留守儿童这个群体,这两年也一直致力于公益展映,希望通过我的公益影像让更多人关注和重视这个群体。但不管拍摄,还是展映,常让我感觉到无力,或许我就只是一个拍纪录片的,我承载不了太多社会责任,
我只想用我的一辈子,去记录我跟拍的孩子们变化,记录在这个经济快速发展的大时代下,孩子们的成长和命运的故事。

Something the director wants to share:
“The Ninth Grade”, after “The Road” and “Children at a village school”, is my 3rd documentary that focuses on left behind children, and also the last one of this series.
Being different from the other two, “The Ninth Grade” is more focuses on the education problems of these left behind children, who lacked of parents’ love during their growing-ups. And try to show their psychological changes when stepping into their rebellious ages. The original idea was to follow an ordinary class, however, due to many kinds of concerns, we followed this key class in the end, but the problems exist as much, and there’re still a lot things need the society to think about.
Since graduating from university in 2009, I’ve kept using my camera to pay close attentions to these left behind children, and devoted myself to charity panoramas in the past two years, hoping to draw the society’s larger attention on this special group.
It always makes me feel helpless to this kids, no matter to shoot their lives or to present them to the public. It’s a serious society problem, sorry that I cannot take more, maybe I’m just a documentary guy after all.
Now I just wish to follow these kids with all my life, to witness their growing-ups and their changes, and to tell their stories during this rapid developing era.
