I lived in Beijing from 1995-99, with my girlfriend and her family, in their 19th floor, 3 BR apt. Three months of Chinese language study at the Beijing Film Academy.

Props crash on dancing models. Strong winds blow a set away, the bluest skies. An orphan selling roses on the street becomes a star. Hysterical auditions, electrical failures, actress quits... i learn alot, meeting creative and beautiful people.
