The camera, mounted on a Steadicam, begins tracking smoothly forward along a muddy pathway leading into the heart of a traditional 1920s Chinese farmstead. The architecture reflects the Manchurian style, with hints of sturdy, functional design. Ahead, we see period-accurate wooden gates, likely made of rough-hewn planks, slightly weathered and showing signs of age and use. As the camera pushes in, we begin to glimpse the layout of the courtyard beyond the gates. To the sides of the pathway, details of the pre-mechanization farming era come into focus. Large grain storage containers, skillfully woven from reeds, sit on the packed earth. A wooden water well with a simple bucket and rope mechanism stands nearby, a testament to the daily labor required for even basic necessities. Laundry, likely made of cotton, hangs on a line strung between two posts, swaying gently in the breeze. Large, traditional ceramic vats for storing water are visible, their earthy tones blending with the surroundings. It's crucial that no modern materials like plastic or concrete are visible, reinforcing the historical setting. The pathway itself is authentically muddy, bearing the deep ruts and impressions left by wooden cart wheels, highlighting the primary mode of transport.
