Yang decided to adapt Ge Shuiping's novel after first reading it in 2008, two years after graduating from the Beijing Film Academy. [2] The story of a mute girl in a remote village, treated as an outsider until befriended by a young boy, resonated with his own feelings of isolation after returning to China in 2004 and struggling to establish his voice as a filmmaker.
