In one of the more poignant scenes from Under the Dome — a documentary about China’s environmental catastrophe that has descended on the national consciousness like a thick smog — a six-year-old girl living in the coal mining province of Shanxi is asked if she has ever seen the stars. The child of China’s economic miracle says she has not. Chai Jing, who made the documentary, describes how she often keeps her own daughter at home “like a prisoner” to protect her from the noxious particles swirling outside.
《穹頂之下》(Under the Dome)中有令人心酸的一幕:柴靜問生活在產煤大省山西的一個六七歲小女孩,「你見過真正的星星嗎?」這個伴隨著中國經濟奇蹟長大的孩子回答說:「沒有。」《穹頂之下》是一部關於中國環境災難的紀錄片,這部紀錄片像一場濃重的霧霾一樣,突然衝擊了中國人的感官。紀錄片製作者柴靜介紹說,她經常把自己的女兒「像囚徒一樣」關在家裏,以免她吸入戶外空氣中漂浮的有害顆粒。
