The Message from No Time
It all started when I discovered letters and files in my grandfather's house after he passed away. I was able to witness the social shifts and political upheavals that the older generation in China lived through because of these materials. In that unfathomable social context, they repressed their sentiments and emotions. As a descendant of theirs, I gathered these historical letters, archived them on postcards, put my messages to them on the postcard, and returned it to them. It's a postcard that will travel through time and space, and I'm hoping it will arrive where I want it to.
