City in Exile 静止

This series shows the city was in lockdown. Suddenly, it seemed like the city was being paused; the park, the streets, and even the train station were all quiet. when all people disappeared, leaving the city in endless stillness.

Hollowed Streets

The city was covered by sorrow, stuck in a standstill. It was the Chinese New Year, and the city should have been full of laughter and joy, with people busy hanging around the street, doing shopping, visiting relatives celebrating a year of hard work and relishing these rare moments with family.

However, the city is trapped in a deathly silence, and sadness has become the main theme. The night sky was lit up by lonely street lights instead of celebratory fireworks.

围墙内外

世界上最遥远的距离再也不是，我在地球这头而你在地球那头，而是两个人明明那么近，却被一道围墙阻拦，一个在里面，一个在外面。

封锁期间，一道道紧闭的门，隔绝了无数的人，门内门外，两个世界。

Inside Out, Outside In

The furthest distance in the world is no longer that I am on this side of the earth and you are on the other side of the earth, but that two people are so close, but are blocked by the wall, one stuck inside and the other on the outside looking in, one inside and one outside.

During lockdown, those closed doors separated countless people, creating two distinct worlds—one inside and one outside.

Welcome to Wuhan Station

Wuhan Railway Station should be at its busiest time. This is in central China, and it is Chinese New Year. Countless people from all over the country stop by here. But at this moment, there is only a sign saying "Welcome to Wuhan Railway Station" illuminating the empty railway station platform and exit.

Welcome to Wuhan railway station.
