The 5000-seater West Lake Restaurant, in the city of Changsha in China, is the
biggest Chinese restaurant in the world. It has a staff of 1000 and serves no fewer than 150 ducks per day and 200 snakes per week.

Old traditions and new money come together in a vibrant and colorful exploration of modern China. Between mouth-watering and ‘exotic’ Chinese food and the motivational mottos
chanted by the staff, the series examines how China has been transformed over
the last few decades. It also poses the question: In this new affluent and
ambitious China, who is thriving and who is left behind?

Directed by Lawrence Elman & Weijun Chen

You may have seen the full version of this documentary, and are wondering why some parts of the film are missing. Don’t worry, we can explain:

WHY STORIES is comprised of pre-existing documentary films which we buy and edit into 45 minute films to broadcast on TV. In this way, WHY STORIES extends the lifespan of high-quality films while simultaneously expanding their viewership by reaching out to new audiences. Where funding permits, THE WHY also makes local dubbed language versions of the films, removing a prevalent barrier for many people to access independent information; particularly for those who are unable to read, write or speak additional languages besides their mother tongue.

This film is part of the WHY STORIES-series. To find out more about the other films in our series head to thewhy.dk
