In Tanggu in the midsummer of 1993, two old men encountered a horrifying sight on the bank of the Haihe River: countless headless black shadows rising slowly from the river. The panic of the old people led to a piece of history buried by the years - on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, a group of innocent people were killed here. Their bodies sank to the bottom of the river, with no one to pay tribute, and their souls remained. A simple salvation, a gaze across time and space, leaving a gentle and heavy sigh between science and legend: Even if it is a shadow, someone must remember it.
Purpose: The work uses the shadows of the Haihe River as a guide to reveal the forgotten past of the unknown dead during the Anti-Japanese War, to express the remembrance of history and the awe of life, and to convey the theme that remembering is the best salvation.
