Hangzhou, China animator Wu Zhijing has created this short and moving (<2 minute) claymation video of a girl on a premodern Chinese street. She's got a bit of money. How should she spend it? Kids of all ages will enjoy this simple video which allows discussion of priorities. Older students might want to make their own short videos using dioramas to capture places and periods.
