Features: In the lens of Lu Yuanmin, the city transforms into a movie studio set. At any moment, his gaze can direct us to encounter "props" that are utterly unimaginable. Without his discovery, these "props," even if they fall upon our sight, would flash by in an instant, leaving no impression, let alone holding any significance. The emergence of these "props" is inexplicable; they even lack a logical basis for existing within the city. Yet, they so perfectly illustrate the city's hidden secrets, revealing faint traces of the innermost thoughts of its inhabitants. Lu Yuanmin is the decoder of the city he resides in. There exists a tacit understanding between Lu Yuanmin and his city, one that is both rushed yet clear. Those "props" and scenes seem to exist solely in anticipation of his arrival. They possess the patience to wait for someone who understands their value, willing to endure the plight of being buried in various corners of the city. Given the slim chance of such an occurrence, they themselves are inevitably subject to the erosion of time, becoming weathered and dusty. However, the arrival of Lu Yuanmin rescues them, and their weathering and dust take on a sense of survival.
