In the midsummer of July, Nanjing's heat wave envelops students with endless anxiety about graduation and job hunting.
I received news from my hometown and returned to Qingkou Yi Village in Liangshan to spend the Torch Festival and took my roommates with me on the trip.
Climbing over the mountains, we saw the moonlight over the Qionghai Sea and experienced the fireworks of the Yi family. The ancient legends of fire pit belief, torch blessing, and Soma flowers are all unfolding before your eyes. The strange singing that has been circulating in the back mountain for many years is not caused by the mountain god, but a tragedy of love that was strangled by the old era.
A journey to explore the folk customs of ethnic minorities is both an escape and a redemption. When the involution of the city traps contemporary youth, the mountains teach us to re-view destiny, tradition and self-choice.
