Documentary --- The Two Lives of Li Ermao Favorite
The documentary film "The Two Lives of Li Ermao" recorded the bumpy life experience of a transgender Li Ermao and her unique and moving story.
"Others only live one life, I live two." Looking back, the "two lives" are not only the emotional disillusionment and the swing of identity that Li Ermao has experienced in the past 17 years, but also her helpless but accurate summary of her life.
Director Jia Yuchuan is 60 years old this year and is a photographer. He has been photographing the lives of sexual minorities in Shenzhen since 2002. Li Ermao is one of his subjects. For seventeen years, images have kept them in intermittent contact, and Jia Yuchuan has become the person who knows Ermao's traces best. Ermao often goes to other places to perform, has no fixed place, and always changes her mobile phone number, but she regards Jia Yuchuan as her "brother" and contacts him most.
In 2019, Li Ermao, who had HIV, passed away at home.
