The dramaturgy of labor migration resists the heroic journey: When Lixue or Bo are needed elsewhere, they just leave. Lixue disappears from the film, but Ah, the tourist, stumbles over her tracks. The three are connected by their feeling of not belonging anywhere in the world. But what does belonging mean anyway? To whom, to what does one belong?
