好死不如赖活着

Director Weijun Chen spent months in Wenlou, a small village in central China, where 60% of the villagers are infected with HIV. The virus was spread when villagers in the early 1990s sold their blood in order to make a little extra money.

In the 1990s HIV/AIDS came to Wenlou through a blood purchasing program. To supplement their income many poor villagers sold their blood and 60% of those who sold blood contracted HIV/AIDS from unsanitary equipment. Many have died from the disease. In his documentary film, To Live is Better than to Die, Wiejun Chen tells of the impact AIDS has had in parts of rural China by showing how it has affected the Ma family. It is spring when the film takes up the family’s story.
