"A PhD Candidate" is a film about a Chinese PhD student living in America. He is sponsored by Chinese government. The government pays him some money every month for living expenses. In exchange he has to return to China right after graduation. After coming here, he found he still lives in a small circle of Chinese people isolated from the American society. His professor and peers are also from China. The environment makes him doesn’t have many chances to communicate with American people. And most importantly, he doesn’t think it is necessary to get integrated with the American social life. Since he knows he will not stay in here. He feels it is more comfortable to live in a closed environment. The above is what interested me at the beginning. I intended to make this film of his life to see how this unusual identity influenced him. Along with the process of filming, I realized I was involving in a new form of transnational academic life. In American academia today there are many Chinese PhDs . The full scholarship or funding provided by Chinese government covered their tuition and living expenses. A PhD for them is more like a job, rather than studying. Also their relation with professors is similar to a kind of employment. So the film is not only about the identity of a foreigner, but also about a kind of academic labor outsourcing. Through watching the film the audience may find how it is like in the lower level of the academic pyramid.

岛屿是一处避难所。林中栖息着古老的树木、岩石、大小不一的动物，还有散落在小径上的枝桠。童年与发现交织其间。迷雾中的船舱里，知识早已失落。那是一片引力场，过去、现在与未来在无时序的火焰中共舞——孩子们年龄各异。我们抵达了那片名为“贡博”（Gombaut）的奇异之地。 An island is a refuge. Within the forest dwell ancient trees, stones, animals of all sizes, and a few branches scattered along the path. Childhood and discoveries. Knowledge lost in the mist, inside a ship. A field of attraction where past, present, and future dance in the fire without temporal order; the children are of all ages. We have arrived at the strange land of Gombaut.
