Abstract
The Chinese border has been a case study in the spread of globalization. The rise of China was fueled by Deng Xiaoping’s policy of reform and opening up: the reform of Maoist autarky through the opening up of borders.But in response to the globalization of COVID-19, on March 28 China started to close its borders again.This film thinks about borders in a new way by tracing the recent history of a particular border crossing: the Hong Kong-mainland China border, especially at the iconic Lowu Bridge joining Hong Kong with Shenzhen. This bridge is fascinating because it is now the busiest border in the world, but in the Maoist period it was one of the loneliest frontiers.
