Mao Chenyu lives and works in Shanghai. He is the host of Second-Text Lab and the founder of Paddyfilm, and works around the area of Dongting Lake Watershed. In 2012, Mao founded the experimental social platform Paddyfilm-farm in Hunan, which investigates and analyses rural societies in China. Thirty mu of paddy field has been transformed into a self-sufficient farming system which nurtures the linguistic and film practices of Paddyfilm. In 2015, in opposition to the drastic transformation of rural societies in China, Mao has set up a private Elaphurus Davidianus University (EDU) within Paddyfilm’s farm, and has carried out social research and education as a kind of institutional practice aimed at the new formation of rural social subjects and their relation with knowledge production. The film I Have What? Chinese Peasants War: The Rhetoric to Justice aims to deconstruct the logic of being of the new Chinese peasants and to reconstruct the subject of the farmers.
