Li, a businessman of a global plastic bottle manufacturer with multiple branches located within the major Chinese cities of the Yangtze River

Li enters the one on his left which takes him up to a dark expansive space; mitigated by a trickling expression of light on the ceiling which dazzles him Looking down he is shocked as he discovers the source of the lights through the glazed floor; a layer of discarded plastics filtered from the river making up the screen through which the light passes through.

They cross paths once again, Chiang finding a ray of hope while Li realizes the consequences of his actions

Meanwhile, Chiang on entering the structure gravitates towards the passageway on his right; which leads him down to a meditative space flanked with a glazed wall facing the filtered river water and hence allowing the scattered light to flood the interiors The glazed wall showcases the river bed in clarity to Chiang who is disheartened on seeing discarded fishing nets covering the river bed.
