Directed by Kenneth Eng
​
"My Life in China" is a personal film that takes viewers on a journey to rural China where an emotional revelation takes place. Every family has a special story. In America, everyone has a family story of immigration. Everyone, at some point, has had somebody in their family leave their native country behind to search for a better life.

How did they hold onto their identity? How did they adapt to their new life? In my case, it’s my Chinese-American story.

Director's Bio:
