I first met Peng a few years ago while doing fieldwork in Lingshui, a Ming dynasty village close to China’s hypermodern capital. At the time, Peng was living with his family in their old rural house on the outskirts of Beijing. He had just finished studying at a nearby vocational secondary school, majoring in IT. He was spending the period between the end of his degree and the beginning of a new job with his parents. What the future had in store for him we largely ignored, except that it entailed leaving his native village behind. We later stayed in touch through phone calls and social media.

The Long Day of Young Peng
<br>小彭一天的旅途疲惫

</dialogue>
<dialogue type="update.author" position="center" id="1" auto-next="true">
I first met Peng few years ago while doing fieldwork in Lingshui, a Ming dynasty village close to China’s hypermodern capital. At the time, Peng was living with his family in their old rural house on the outskirts of Beijing. He had just finished studying at a nearby vocational secondary school, majoring in IT. He was spending the period between the end of his degree and the beginning of a new job with his parents. What the future had in store for him we largely ignored, except that it entailed leaving his native village behind. We later stayed in touch through phone calls and social media.
</dialogue>
<dialogue type="update.author" position="center" id="2" auto-next="true">
What follows draws from what Peng has been willing to share with me about his life in the village and as a migrant, but also goes beyond it. It draws from material collected through repeated visits to China and other scholarly sources, including works on other parts of the country and insights from different but similarly developing places around the world, to recount the story of the making of contemporary China. All people and places in this game have been given alternative names, but their stories remain those of some of China’s hundred million migrants.
</dialogue>
<dialogue type="update.author" position="center" id="3" auto-next="true">
This game puts you in Peng’s shoes. It asks you to pay close attention to the various political, economical, legal and, above all, human entanglements constituting the ordinary life of a Chinese migrant today. In this way, you gain insights into how the global forces of modernity, the object of this digital ethnography, affect local Chinese individuals and the choices they make about their lives and relationships.<br><br>

“Uncle Di’s house is this immaculate wunderkammer of Chinese post-socialist obsession with consumables, trinkets and souvenirs of future prosperity. If asked about it, he vehemently denies any allegation of compulsive collecting: ‘This is all my great daughter’s doing. I’m keeping with my 朴素 lifestyle, this is how I was raised.’”.

“An Qiyuan, an official from Shaanxi Province, definitely had a point when he said that the Beijing Olympics were at fault for causing severe water shortages to farmers and businesses in the North-West.
</dialogue>
<dialogue type="author" position="center" id="2" auto-next=true>
In 2008, Lingshui — much closer to Beijing than Shaanxi — was indeed experiencing something similar, with local water being diverted to the capital to meet an Olympics-driven, upward-curving demand, with locals being sanctioned for drilling new water wells.
</dialogue>
<dialogue type="author" position="center" id="3" auto-next=true>
‘Farming has just become too unprofitable an enterprise, the price of vegetables has been dropping since the ‘90s, we are now better off living on remittances only’, one Lingshui farmer said. ‘Today’s China has little space for villages like ours, we are doomed to disappear’, another commented.”

<div style="margin: 20px 0 20px 0;">To all the people who appear in this game and with whom I spent many months of my life in China, this is where I say thank you. While no written text (or in this case, videogame) could ever do justice to your lives and struggles, I hope that with my work I haven’t misrepresented any of your thoughts and aspirations. Of course, all mistakes and misinterpretations are my own.

致所有帮助过我的水灵村朋友们，我由衷的感谢在制作本游戏过程中你们所寄予我的大力支持。没有任何的语言抑或游戏可以描述你们在生活中所经历的苦楚。但我希望至少这一作品没有误述你们的意念和梦想。倘若如此，我愿对误述负全责。

This digitised interactive ethnography (or game, as you prefer) is based on eight months of fieldwork between 2008-2009. Most of what you read and see comes from that period of research. At certain points in the story, you’ll also hear the voices of people Peng or I have never met in person. Their voices are included in the publications on contemporary China mentioned in the bibliography. As our work makes a point of blurring the boundaries between fiction, non-fiction, and ethnography to question the underlying dynamics and hierarchies of storytelling, we decided to anonymise all sources other than those from my field diary and interviews.
</div>
<div style="margin: 20px 0 20px 0;">
Lingshui can be reached by bus from Beijing’s line 1 Pingguoyuan metro station. In 2009 that trip took three and a half hours. To this village and to others in the Jingxi area belong one of the most beautiful rural scenery of northern China.
