Four hundred documentary photographs and 150,000 simple words record the eight-year drift of photographer Zhao Tielin, a self-imposed exile, and his arduous yet meticulous tracking investigation. He brings to us the little people who are part of our lives yet never enter our vision, telling us who else lives in the countryside and towns, and between them; how socio-economic changes have affected their means of livelihood, daily lives, and family relationships; their thoughts, aspirations, and potential as well as their existing destinations; among them and in the spaces they inhabit, which traditional concepts have crumbled, and which old customs have returned. May these stories encourage more people to care more and contribute more to social issues.
