Serbia and China are close friends, partly because of their shared communist past. The Chinese are rolling out railway lines in Serbia and have taken over the ailing heavy industry. But the Serbs pay a hefty price for that support. The steel factory, that once again is fully operational because of the Chinese, leads to terrible pollution and desperate villagers. Down in the gold and copper mines, Ruben Terlou meets a woman who left her family in China for love and he celebrates Chinese New Year with the Chinese miners. Which is not a particular festive evening this time, because the pandemic in Wuhan has just broken out.
