As China steps into the 21st century, every aspect of life is in constant change. In this context, the "left-behind woman" emerges as a central figure that I am trying to place and problematize in this work. I am interested in how to utilise still and moving photography to narrate the changing lives of women in rural China. The project starts from the "composite family group" photographs that I collected from villages. I also analyse several historical photographs and reflect upon the problems of the "grand narrative", which has been dominated by the propaganda and unified ideology since the1950s. Avoiding categorising the village women in my research helped me to approximate what I call their "actual life". Their opacity protected the village women's differences and affected my artistic creation. I explored how to use opacity as an artistic strategy to present the village women and their current life.
