Daguan Village in Jilin Province held its first write-in election for the Village Committee in March 1993. Villagers participated in a re-election process that allowed them to nominate candidates of their choice. This marked a significant shift in local governance, as residents engaged directly in the democratic process. The documentary captures the atmosphere of this historic event and the implications it had for community involvement in decision-making. The 43-minute film provides a detailed look at the election's execution and its impact on the village.
