Haven of Peace by Liu Song.

A reflection of environmental change and urbanization in today's China: "The animated short film is taken riverside towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces as the background scenic tone, via the short cut of daily life in sketch, to depict the traffic situation of real life directly. The art mood allures out some contradictable psychology problems which occurs since the moment people have to confront urbanism accompanying by eliminated suburbs and agricultural culture, with romantic literal manners taken from Chinese literature by Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty."
