Finalist for the 1991 Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival. The pottery produced in Penyao Village, Henan Province, is black, which is the same texture of the exquisite pottery of Longshan culture in China in 2000 BC. In the village, these black pottery basins and black pottery jars are indispensable to life. Wang Zhengcheng began to learn how to make pottery at the age of 13. He has always wanted to become an excellent craftsman like his grandfather in order to restore the glory of his family.
