Produced in Beijing during the spring of 1999, the film captures a city and nation in flux, peeking out on the verge of the millennium.

Director Ju Anqi with two crew members, an old Arriflex 16mm camera, and a microphone mounted on a TV antenna, rush into several scenes, including a wedding, a school, an apartment building, Tiananmen Square, a beauty parlor, and even a public toilet, asking the question, “Do you think there’s a strong wind in Beijing?” Using both expired and new film stock, the film pushes cinema verite to its limits.
