03. 贵州大巴、卫星发射和老妈蹄花的关系

贵州大巴事件一周年到现在为止已经过去三周了，非常惭愧，因为前两周加班，再加上中间几次录制都不满意，断断续续到今天才剪出来，发出来也是为了给自己一个交代。2022年对于我来说是很不寻常的一年，时隔一年我开始觉得自己可以去做一个记录，希望接下来几个月也可以继续创作出我觉得有意义的内容。

关于电影《天降》的剧透部分从14'40''开始到30'40''结束，但是因为是纪录片所以剧透也并不太影响观影体验，听了可能也没关系，大家自行斟酌吧。
In this episode of WordsMisunderstood, we start the discussion with Zhang Zanbo’s documentary, Falling From the Sky. The film delves into a little-known place, Suining County, situated directly in the path of falling debris from the Xichang Satellite Launching Base, one of China's three satellite launching bases. Though the movie was filmed in 2008, it eerily foreshadows events in China between 2020 and 2022. Rewatching this documentary during the one year commemoration of the Guizhou bus crash has made me realize that at the core of these repeating tragic events, it’s the same lack of accountability from the government.

Another disaster that happened in 2008 was the Sichuan Earthquake. After the earthquake, there were a series of allegations of corruption against officials involved in the construction of schools in regions affected by the quake. Despite initial openness to independent reporting and foreign media, the Chinese government attempted to downplay the issue and suppress criticism. During a crackdown on social activism, Tan Zuoren faced charges due to his research and questioning about student casualties and corruption leading to substandard school buildings. He was later sentenced to five years in prison. Towards the end of this episode, we also discuss Ai Weiwei's documentary, 'Disturbing the Peace,' which is an attempt to document Tan Zuoren's trial on August 12, 2009.
