Project Description
A feature documentary film by Weichao Xu, Weixi Chen.
After living in seclusion with his books for 26 years, Shen Wei, an erudite trash collector, inadvertently became a viral sensation thanks to a live streaming app, where he was venerated by millions of followers as China’s “Vagrant Master”. The overnight fame reintroduced Shen to a society that once left him behind. Supported by Sundance Documentary Fund for development.
