I lived in Beijing for more than a decade, photography became an opportunity for me to explore the metropolis. Exploration means adventure, from a safe place to an unknown field, and such movement is not only in the physical space, but also in the spiritual and emotional evolution. I keep roaming in the city, thinking about how urban space shapes people's lifestyle and desires, and whether there is another world hidden under the surface of daily life. When the stream of reality that is constantly dissipating and reassembling becomes a photograph, I arrive at the other side of reality
