Seventy years of changes, the ultimate deconstruction of Bailuyuan's spiritual totem.
If Mr. Chen Zhongshi's "White Deer Plain" is a secret history of the national soul, then "White Deer No Plain" is the final elegy for this land to "lost its roots".
Beginning in 1950 when Bai Xiaowen took over the ancestral hall, this work records the rupture and decline of the Bai and Lu families under the impact of modern civilization with a cold writing style spanning seventy years.
From the "loess" of farming civilization to the "cement" of the commodity era, when Mr. Zhu's "mistake" legacy was crushed into powder by heavy trucks, when the copper pipe pot that symbolized the backbone of the family was turned into copper lumps in the waste - Bailuyuan is no longer a myth, it has become a modern puzzle completely wrapped by highways, LED billboards and gray haze.
The white deer has passed away and no longer exists.
This is not only the end of a family, but also a profound torture about the dissipation of land, soul and civilization.
Intent: Seventy years of changes, the ultimate deconstruction of Bailuyuan's spiritual totem.
