Hang Xun is a documentary photographer who prefers to be alone. He travels around the increasingly deserted old streets of the city all year round. Using his camera as a shield, he persistently salvages the fireworks and traces of the old city that are on the verge of dissipation. He uses a viewfinder to isolate himself from the hustle and bustle, and always observes the world as a distant bystander. He has sealed up a difficult past in his heart. He is taciturn and introverted by nature, and never reveals his emotions easily. All the forbearing emotions and unresolved obsessions are sunk in the light and shadow of the frame of time (Jiangsu native)
Chu Mei is an oral writer who is deeply involved in urban documentaries. He has a gentle and transparent temperament, and is restrained and gentle. He is good at understanding the regrets and loneliness deep in people's hearts. He travels all over the streets to collect stories and patiently picks up the worries of ordinary people who have nowhere to put them. He uses pen and ink to collect the silent monologues of the world, writing about the ups and downs of the world, the joys and sorrows of ordinary people, and gently healing countless trapped people, but they are always trapped in the shackles of themselves, and it is difficult to reconcile with the past (Suzhou native)
An urban humanistic documentary project allows two lonely souls to meet quietly in the old streets at dusk.
Hang Xun pursues the wind and shadows, capturing the fleeting worldly scenes with his lens; Chu Mei listens attentively, using words to carry the unexpressed joys and sorrows of the world. They traveled together through the alleys of the old city, recorded the ups and downs of the city, and witnessed the ordinary ups and downs.
As they accompany each other day and night and watch thousands of lives unfold, the two people's layers of disguise slowly fade away. Hang Xun glimpsed the deep loneliness hidden under Chu Me's gentle skin, and Chu Me understood Hang Xun's sincere obsession under his silent appearance.
The camera freezes the fireworks, and the words are gentle and dusty. Two lonely people who traveled alone and were trapped in the past finally met in the vast sea of people. From then on, they meet each other day and night, saving each other in both directions, and becoming each other's destination for the rest of their lives.
The idea: to preserve the city's fireworks through lenses and words, allowing two lonely people to accompany each other and reconcile with the past.
