"Grandpa, when will the film begin?" a kid asked. Around him were people attending an open-air cinema recently in Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia Hui autonomous region.

Zhang Yinsheng, 63, has served as a part-time movie projectionist for 13 years, and his 30-year-old partner Liu Chunyi for five years.

They often project movies at night from April to October, with equipment provided by a local movie company.
