Director's statement
During my sick time, I often wrote poems to express, but I realized it should be more specific if there were images. Then those videos shoot intentionally or unintentionally became the key part of the film. Besides, my father and I seldom chat even when together, and I want to start a conversation by films. Through making it, I have found more to it. Films are not only used to illustrate biographies for big men or events, but also memos for the ordinary. Films are cuts of life, and witnesses for tininess to greatness. Such a way of expression, I believe, will never expire.
