Dear Time
Time moves the same for everyone, but each of us spends it in our own way.
Capturing time in images, slowing down this moment just a little longer,
I share with you each of my unique and precious moments, hoping they will resonate with you.

Description
During the rainy season, the sun came out only on the day of the shoot, as if announcing the arrival of summer. I took my daughters and my grandmother, who lives in a nursing home, back to our old hometown. We spent most of our time revisiting my grandmother's memories there. She repeated the same story with the excitement of a child, sometimes in a disjointed way but always full of life. When she talked about my childhood, I felt a sudden wave of warmth. My daughters enjoyed hearing stories from my younger days that they hadn't known. My grandmother, who suffers from dementia, can't recall what happened just an hour ago and finds it hard to form new memories, while my daughters are growing quickly and creating their own memories. They played games with strings, picked vegetables in the fields, put on lipstick at the vanity, cut their bangs, and played with handmade dolls crafted by my grandmother. In the slow passage of time, happiness was all around. If the beauty of photos is to "supplement the memories of one's life," could the rich details captured by the latest OPPO phone become the thread linking these memories? I hope this colorful "thread," woven through our experiences, will stay in the hearts of each family member. With this hope, I pressed the camera button on the screen.

Grandma used to be camera shy, thinking she was growing old with wrinkles, gray hair, and missing teeth. However, following a chance shot two years ago, she became my best model, with her diverse beauty being commended by everyone. Just like a butterfly leaving its cocoon, she has overcome those preconceptions about herself and age.

Longing to learn how to drive, I arrived at the driving school early in the morning. As I approached the car, I was pleasantly surprised to find a thin layer of snowflakes covering the vehicle, each with unique shape and texture. The contrast between the blue tones of the dawn and the warm tones of the sunrise is a subtle metaphor: no matter how cold the winter night might be, the warmth of the sunshine will always break through the night and bring a renewed sense of hope. I couldn't help reaching for my OPPO phone to capture this wonderful moment.

This photo collection is about a trip. I like to take things slow when I'm traveling. For me, what matters is not the scenery along the way, but the people I meet. While shooting a new project in Yunnan, I met lots of friendly people. In the misty old tea forests of Jingmai Mountain, Yumu told me that this place is their life. By the banks of the Xima River in Pu'er, Lao Ya, leaning against a tree, told me stories about his life. I simply captured these stories to share them with everyone.
