Description

“An encounter between me and the tragic suicide of four brothers and sisters: after attempting to sneak into the village where the accident took place, being caught and held by the local government authorities, I leave and then wander in the mountains. Hanging out with the children of the mountains evokes my childhood memories and, fleeing like a coward, I return to Beijing family life, and yet that lingering feeling will not cease.” – Rong Guang Rong
