My People, My Homeland

My People, My Homeland (我和我的家乡, 2020) is a Chinese comedy-drama anthology you can watch online on iFILM. Five stories, seven directors, and what feels like every famous face in Chinese cinema, all circling one idea: the place you come from.

Each segment lands in a different corner of rural China. A village clinic gets saved through a sly insurance scheme. A teacher comes back to the school he attended as a boy. An entrepreneur tries to turn desert into farmland. The chapters share no plot, only a mood — homesickness, pride, the pull of the soil. Ge You, Huang Bo, Shen Teng, Ma Li and a long bench of stars carry the segments.

Helmers Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Chen Sicheng, Deng Chao and others each took a story, and the film became one of the season's biggest draws at the Chinese box office. Most chapters swing from a belly laugh to a lump in the throat within minutes — a tonal mix mainland audiences adore and Western viewers rarely get to sample.
