“Yet, as the wheel of time turns and dynasties fade away, the marvelous Afang Palace has suffered the same fate: it lies in ashes, dust beneath our feet. Is this not a mirage of the past? Faced with such fleeting magnificence, who can still be surprised by the mirage dancing on the endless sea?”
On Mirage, Jingxi Ling (1242-1310)

« For the world, this is a time of unprecedented change. I hope the audience connects with mother's emotional journey, sensing the gentleness within her, while also reflecting on the broader challenges faced by many who, remaining adrift in China's new economy, yet strong and courageous. »
