You saved me on your hand

History is embedded in every inch of land, and besides using words or objects, people’s collective memories are also vessels that hold and preserve history. Whether or not the contents of these memories are actual facts seem to become hazier with time. I thought this process of fading would lead to the ultimate condition of mankind. However, perhaps it has the potential to be transformed into another new way of life. Guangneng Village’s Chifeng Street is situated inside a densely commercialized city, but the original vitality that is distinctively of this area is still quite prevalent. As an outsider, I have gone to the area to experience its neighborhood, and I’ve discovered that the ambiance of a community that rely on repairing mechanical parts still lingers inside the alleyways of Chifeng Street. However, people are usually not aware of these small passageways, and usually opt to just walk on by. Through the moving images captured in this documentary, I hope to present to the viewers or the residents another perspective to see their home.
