The interview series Striving for a Civil Society filmed 55 episodes featuring 52 individuals, with some interviewed multiple times. Conceived in 2007 by Zhang Hui, then manager of Beijing Desai Company, it documents China’s intellectual and social landscape during a period of transition. The series, initially available in mainland China, was later removed. Despite leaving Beijing and losing resources, its creator, Laohumiao, continues seeking ways to continue the project.
