The early 20th century in China was marked by the New Culture Movement, a period of intellectual and cultural ferment that saw a surge of young Chinese artists seeking Western art education abroad. Chang Shuhong, a passionate painter since childhood, was among them. Chang embarked on his study abroad journey, becoming a government-sponsored student at the Lyon Sino-French Institute in France. The documentary "Love for Dunhuang" chronicles Chang Shuhong's transformative experiences at the institute.
