Zhuang traveled around the Fan of the Carved Tomb and saw a strange magpie coming from the south. The wings are seven feet wide, the eyes are large and the inches are large, and the jaws of the sense of the week are gathered in the chestnut forest. Zhuang Zhouyue: "What a bird! Wing Yin is not dead, and the eyes are not seen. "Stomp and hold on to the bullet and stay." See a cicada and forget it. The praying mantis fights and fights, seeing and forgetting. The magpie thus benefits, and sees the benefit and forgets its truth. Zhuang Zhou said, "Oh! Things are solid and tired, and the two types of phases are also called. "Donate bombs and go backwards, and the yu people will slander them one by one."

Wang Yan Rusi "Sojourn Home"
3'39'' / 2018 /China
In the early days of industrial civilization, the hermit crab that could not find the shell of the conch encountered the first industrial garbage that was thrown into the sea - half a dirty wine bottle, and had to use the bottle as a shell when fleeing for life, but fortunately escaped the attack of natural enemies and became invincible in the sea. Carrying this "different" garbage on its back, it led the entire hermit crab colony to abandon its usual conch shell and rely on solid marine garbage. As the oceans become increasingly polluted, this hermit crab carrying garbage has set its sights on human cities.

2018 My Little School
2017 Moonlight Lover
4'10'' / 2018 / USA
I studied abroad at university. One day, I casually sent my mother a few photos of her life at school on WeChat. What I didn't expect was that she actually commented on the people, elements, and events that appeared in each photo one by one, and replied to many words. For me, these were just a few inconsequential photos, and sending them to her was a whim, but she was very happy to hear from me.
I found that when I grew up, my relationship and status with my mother's emotional dependence and needs slowly tilted and reversed. I'm just going to get more and more rushed toward the world, and her window is getting smaller and smaller. Mom is getting older, too. The older I get, the more I look like a clumsy child.
