Xi'an is the third city I have lived in and is my present home / I have met many interesting people and done some interesting works here / In 2016, because of my growing interest in field recording, I bought a Sony D100 recorder / While measuring each city I have visited with my own two legs, I can feel and record the sounds that will exist or exist in that scene at that moment and in that climate, constantly repeating or fleeting, random and inevitable / Now when I look back at the locations I have chosen this time, some of them no longer exist. One cannot step into the same river twice, and likewise one cannot hear the same sound twice. Recording is only a means, a freeze frame, a capture, an amplification, or distortion; But the timeline has only one direction and cannot be replayed //
