Fortune Teller
2010・China・129 minutes
Fortune teller Li Baicheng and his old deaf-mute wife are working hard to make a living, and the customers who come to their door want to find a new life through fortune telling. Can changing your name and feng shui really change your destiny? Or are people just "slaves of life" after all? Director Xu Tong records Li Baicheng and the various religions and schools around him, and divides them into sections with traditional novel chapter titles. Through such a special and charming little character, he sharply breaks through the fringe spectrum of life at the bottom of China.
