2016年杭州g20峰会前，在即将被拆迁的房屋中，我拍摄了一段影像，定格了这些即将再也看不到的场景：台球室、游戏厅、红灯区、猪肉铺，广播中播放着《大都会》中都市的蜃景；我虚构了一些年轻人，通过电话和广播他们得知了一些未世界的喜怒哀乐以及只言片语，但是他们在关于热烈的未来的讨论前永远呈现出一种冷静以及疏离。
时代并非在螺旋式地上升，废墟与摩天大楼永远并存，都市终将倒塌，未来永远不能尽如人意。

Before the g20 summit in Hangzhou in 2016, I made a film among the house going to be pulled down.It freeze framed the scene that would vanished forever: billiards rooms ,game halls ,adult business districts ,pork shops together with the broadcast playing the scenes in cosmopolis. I created some fictional young men ,they have got penny knowledge of pains and joys in the future world from telephone and broadcast. When it comes to the heated discussion on the future, however, they always appear to be a kind of calm and isolation.
Our world is not spiraling ascending, because the ruins will always go with the skyscrapers , cities are bond to collapse and the future will never become entirely satisfactory.
