Frivolous Tireless
"If I had never left, what would my life trajectory have been like"
It took a month to capture images of life at different ages in Liuzhou, edited out with life development trajectories. From being a playful child, to studying, to military training, to gradually growing up to be an adult earning a living, to becoming old and sick, and finally becoming the person who is missed at the Midwinter Festival.
The summer is over, life is over, but it is not yet saved.
Death is not a relief; it is the plain acceptance of the process of life that is a relief.
The film also inserts home videos from my childhood to show the connection between life and home that is my own.
Perhaps the film also evokes part of the collective memory.

Hi Grandpa
Three years ago, two days after I turned 20, my grandpa suffered a stroke that left him hemiplegic and has affected his mobility and speaking ever since. Mark, in London, is another stroke patient with a similar experience to my grandpa. In the film, Mark seemed to be the embodiment of my grandpa in a foreign country, and through me as a medium, the two stroke patients communicated and got to know each other. After a stroke, many aspects of life will change, they will need to find a new way of living, they will need to move to ‘new’ homes, but for my grandfather and Mark, ‘family’ is the one part of life that will not change.
