Program sees young directors tell China's story

CHONGQING - Usama Kalim, a 27-year-old university student who grew up in rural Pakistan, always longed to live in a big city. At least, that was until he experienced rural life in China.

While in China, Kalim joined the Looking China Youth Film Project and directed a short documentary about a young Chinese man named Lang Xiaoyong who gave up his job in the big city and chose to start a business near his hometown in the countryside.
