自1978至2008年，中國的城市人口比率從17.92%上升到45.70%，意味著未來三億農村人口將面臨都市化的趨勢，這個劇烈的變遷問題在世界上沒有先例，數億農民面臨著生活方式的改變。小穀圍島三年內從農村被建設成廣州大學城，其中的練溪村奇蹟般地被保存下來，改造成民俗旅遊區。本片透過端午節龍舟競賽這個傳統的習俗，探討農民生活上、心理上城市化的進程。

The annual dragon boat race was a major event for the villagers of Lianxi, on an island in southern China. With the construction of University Town in 2003, the villagers were forced to resettle. Today, the island has been turned into a mini city, and the former site of Lianxi Village has been transformed into a folk culture resort. Resettled villagers return to the site every year to continue their tradition of dragon boat racing. Will the dragon boat remain the link between the villagers and their former homeland? Lianxi village’s fate profoundly reflects the many ongoing encounters between native cultures and modernization in China today.
