The subject of the project will be a short video on my summer volunteer experience at the first non-profit charity college called Guizhou Forerunner College (GFC) in a rural village in China. GFC is located in the rural village called Huishui in Guizhou Province in southern part of China. It is the first non-profit funded college in China, Guizhou Forerunner College aims to support the underserved low income, blind, and minority communities in the Guizhou Province of China by providing education through innovative teaching. The school started its launching process in 2007 and had its first class of 360 students in the fall of 2009. Professors are all volunteers coming from all over the world. There are 38 in total right now and most of them are from U.S. As a participant involved with GFC’s life for two months, the project would be made through my perspectives on showing not only GFC, in a larger content, to show the characteristics of GFC with comparison to education in poverty areas in Southern China. Besides the techniques learnt from editing courses, the theories and histories of cinema verite and documentary genre will be applied and being the inspiration for the project

Le Guizhou, situé dans le sud-ouest de la République Populaire de Chine (RPC), est une province reculée, difficile d’accès, avec une topographie accidentée aux sommets variant entre 1000 et 1500 mètres d’altitude. Dans le but d’uniformiser la modernisation du pays et de pallier à l’écart grandissant de développement économique entre les régions côtières et les régions intérieures, le gouvernement chinois y encourage de plus en plus le développement du tourisme. Zhaoxing, un village de la nationalité minoritaire Dong du sud-est de la province, est devenu, dans les dix dernières années un site incontournable du tourisme dit ‘ethnique’; une forme de tourisme dont l’attrait principal est la culture traditionnelle des communautés minoritaires. Les habitants de Zhaoxing vivent de plus en plus une modernisation dictée par l’industrie touristique face à laquelle ils ont très peu de pouvoir. Néanmoins, ils sont loin d’être des victimes passives du développement; une étude locale approfondie laisse entrevoir une variété de formes d’indigénisation de la modernité en fonction des différentes formes de stratégies de subsistance des villageois. Les réponses locales comprennent de la résistance (ouverte ou subtile), de l’accommodement et de la coopération. Ainsi, la situation des villageois de Zhaoxing révèle certaines des dynamiques impliquées dans le changement social que la modernité, via le développement du tourisme, amène dans les régions rurales, reculées et ethniques de la RPC. Mots clés : Nationalités minoritaires chinoises, Dong, tourisme, indigénisation, modernité / The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) announced in mid-1999 the campaign to “Open Up the West” (xibu da kaifa) with the goals of reducing socio-economic disparities, encouraging economic growth, and ensuring social and political stability in the non-Han areas. For the village of Zhaoxing, located in the remote province of Guizhou and inhabited by the Dong minority nationality, the Chinese state ideal of modernization has been channelled in large part through the development of ethnic tourism. As a result, what an authentic Dong village should look like as well as the outward expressions of being Dong are increasingly fixed by delocalized agents of change driven by tourism profits. Far from being passive, villagers of Zhaoxing constantly negotiate to maintain or improve their livelihoods on their own terms. They selectively resist and indigenize elements of modernity according to the opportunities and constraints stemming from their unique and troubled place within the Chinese Nation. Based on extensive fieldwork in the village of Zhaoxing this thesis presents a diversity of local responses that vary according to local livelihood strategies. It demonstrates the local ingenuity of Zhaoxing villagers in negotiating and asserting their own modern subjectivity. Keywords: Chinese minority nationalities, Dong, tourist development, indigenization, modernity.
