Director's statement
Changfeng Town is, in all, an expression of my own nostalgia of hometown. I wish to reconstruct and depict a long-forgotten town. I wish for audiences to connect emotionally with the seemingly mundane characters in the film. I wish to show the hidden gaps between narratives, which are just as important as the narrative itself. I wish to capture the lyricism of everyday life, composing a film poem from these ordinary lives.
