The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics．But Masters in the Forbidden City （《我在故宮修文物》）does not just focus on the stories of the past．
Instead，the documentary movie，which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec．16，focuses on ordinary people-the restorers（修復者）of relics and antiquities（古董）．
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace，reflecting the restorers' work．Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming，and sometimes boring．Yet these restorers' patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast．
"If you choose this job，you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair．You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet，" says Wang Jin'an ancient clock repair expert．
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship （工藝）in the restorers． "Years of humdrum work requires not only skill，but also faith and spirit，China Daily commented．Looking for preciseness and perfection，devoting yourself to work，patience，endurance（忍耐），loneliness…All these qualities come from the craftsman spirit．"
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious，the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers．They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work．
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday．While she is doing this，a narrator says，"The last person to do this was Puyi，the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty．"
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people's ideas about antique restorers，allowing them to realize that they are not old，dull professors，but people in their 40s，30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye．
（1）According to the text，what's the main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City？ CC
A．To show people how antiques are restored．
B．To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people．
