This documentary is about the late artist Li Yuan-Chia and his journey from China, Taiwan, Italy, and to the UK. He built a museum on his own (L.Y.C. Museum) in the middle of nowhere in the British countryside in the 1970s. The local people called him the “Chinaman.”

Li Yuan-Chia invited more than 300 artists worldwide to exhibit in the L.Y.C. Museum. The exhibitions embody the art practice, which goes beyond the boundaries set by races, nationalities, and even social classes. He held the gesture as Sisyphus and was against the art market led by capitalism in western countries.

This documentary is unfolded in dialogues crossing time and space, and his legacy is justified by his diaries, recordings, works, and friendship. Directors have gradually turned to be witnesses of Li’s lost time in the process of seeking, interpreting Li’s life journey and art practice in the light of Laozi’s dialectical idea of “All and Nothing.”
