the story of young people at a world theme park in beijing call the world ( shi jie gong yuan ) . the park contain scale model of the eiffel tower and the pyramid and the taj mahal and the lean tower of pisa etc . the motto be that you can see the world without leave beijing . the film detail the life of the young worker there and focus in particular on the ups and down of a couple of relationship . other event represent a group of russian girl arrive to work there while a couple of young men from the countryside come look for employment while petty corruption and the tragedy of those at the low part of the economic scale be part of the mix as well . like other jia film and there be not a lot here in term of plot . but you be nevertheless drawn into the life of the character . just like you can see the world without leave beijing and so you can go deeply into the life of these character without need a lot of action to occur . some do not like jia work because of it slow pacing . but i find his work engross . his still life ( san xia hao ren ) be my favorite chinese film . i do not want his movie to move any fast than they do .
