Liang, which means grain, is a documentary that narrates Chinese economic history during the 1950s-1990s. People were given a certain amount of coupons to buy food and daily necessities because of a scarcity in products.
The historical theme of the film references images to showcase the concept of buying food before 1990 and buying food today. The most artistic part in this video is Shanghainese dialogue, which explains the concept of food coupons by storytelling.
