Full Moon Jinshan Tower

In his Chinatown studio, Lin Xiuping received a commission from Chen Bo: to restore a group of important cultural relics collected by the Chinese Cultural Center that had been damaged due to disrepair and a minor accident (such as a water leak), including an ancestor portrait from the late Qing Dynasty, a meeting record of an early Chinese association, a damaged lion dance head, and a batch of old photos. Lin Xiuping began the restoration work, and during the process he came into contact with the rich historical details carried by the cultural relics (dialect records, traditional rituals, the hardships and mutual aid of early immigrants). These details touched his vague family memories and made him feel more clearly his alienation from this "root".
