Rambling in New York
Two Chinese individuals, a poet and a rocker, wander through famous Manhattan landmarks, appearing stylish and confident, but in reality, they are linguistically challenged and penniless. They set their sights on a man in sunglasses in the park, only to find out through an unexpected encounter that he is a fellow countryman and also down on his luck. When poetry and rock fail to generate income, the three team up for street performances, showcasing the "Water Dragon King" stunt. Geng Jun and his crew filmed this during a break from attending overseas film festivals, casually turning New York into Hegang, fully expressing the spiritual loss under cultural differences.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
