The Sino-German coproduction Mouzhong leisi yu wode didong: xinshi pianduan explores the medical process of a heart transplant and its aftermath through the Foucauldian theoretical framework of the “clinical gaze.” The doctors’ “biomedical reductionism” is caricatured for its lack of humanness; patients’ physical and emotional agony denies the possibility of peaceful coexistence of the human self and technology. Cynical irony is one way of coping with the identity loss, pain, and techno-human condition of organ-transplant survivors
