< Untitled >

A photo I took in Town Baisha which located in the very south of China,in the summer of 2012.Baisha is an old non-modern town.Residents there still live in two or three-floor wooden houses, wear the hand-made clothes. After a half day walking,I sat down by the side of the flagstones street to get a rest.The torrid noonday sun roasted the road,I could almost see the steam licking up.Then, a horse appeared in front of me drawing a carriage which used for occasions.He stopped at the closest corner , seemed to be thinking something. “Click”.

<Rivers with Stories>

An ongoing 2D experimental animation. “Rivers” does not only refer to “river” which is in physical meaning,but also has a metaphorical meaning that represent all kinds of things with fluid properties (time,feelings,sound...).The whole video is made up of six small stories. By using real fragments of life as the main line ( It is about flood happend in my hometown in the 90s,and it is not a sad one.) ,lead to six different concepts/imagination about “river”.
