UK
2023
It’s been 893 days since I left my home in China and moved to the UK. The restrictions brought on by the pandemic stretch like an endless wall separating me from my family, friends, and lovers. I feel trapped on this island, in this room, in this body, unable to resist or break free. My memories of what my home looks like are diminishing, and the familiar faces are fading.
Searching for respite, I start walking towards the coast. Wandering around the edges and looking out to sea, the light, the sounds, the smells, and the taste of salt in the wind remind me of home. The hypnotic waves roll into familiar scenes and memories from my past begin to emerge. For a moment, I seem to return to where I belong, but I know it’s just an illusion and that it will eventually dissipate like the tide leaving me standing alone to walk on this endless shoreline.

「离开中国的来到英国已经 893 天了。大流行病带来的封锁像一堵无形的墙，将我与家人、朋友和爱人相隔开。我觉得自己被困在这个岛上、这个房间里、这个身体里，无法抗拒，也无法挣脱。我对家的记忆越来越模糊，也渐渐忘记了熟悉的面孔。 为了寻求喘息的机会，我开始在海岸走去，在这个国家边缘徘徊。眺望大海，风中的光线、声音、和空气中弥漫的盐味让我想起了我的家乡。催眠般的海浪卷起熟悉的场景，我过去的记忆开始浮现。刹那间，我似乎回到了属于自己的地方，但我知道这只是一种幻觉，它最终会像潮水一样消散，留下我独自站在这一望无际的海岸线上行走。」

The city, as dry and scorching as an ancient kiln, was suffused with an uneasy atmosphere under the setting sun. Returning after years to the city of my childhood would be either a long-awaited reunion or a journey destined for ruin.

對早已設定好的程序投入感情，聽上去就是件愚蠢的事。他們所做的一切對他們來說都是無意義的。作為觀者的我，或許能做的就是記錄下他們的行為，就像他們似乎真的在這個世界上存在過。
