[037] White Skirt Fluttering (Part 1)
Based on the principle of proximity, I chose the place closest to me to carry out my work.
The place where I live is just around all the famous art schools in this province.
The so-called "just" is actually not at all. There is a story here.
The first thing I remember about the residential area in Chengdu is called Central Garden. Listen to these four words, how grand is it? Central Garden, Garden, when I first heard the four words Central Garden, I was shocked by the domineering aura contained in these four words, thinking that this is at least the place where cadres above the provincial party committee standing committee live.
The moment I arrived at the Central Garden, my mood was just four words: Oops, I'll go!
What comes to my eyes are rows of buildings built in ancient times, which cannot keep up with the progress of the 21st century at all, and should have been demolished long ago. Sadly, I didn’t even have any choice that year. I had to live here, otherwise I would have to sleep on the street.
Later, I went to the area called Wuda Garden. After leaving the Central Garden, I lived in Jiaotong University Garden and the Royal Garden. In my memory, the five major gardens all sound beautiful and lived in ugly places. I once spent a very difficult time in these three gardens.
I still remember the day I left the Royal Garden and swear to the sky: I will never live in the five major gardens again in my life!!!
Three exclamation marks profoundly demonstrated my determination.
After the economic situation improved, I took the route of shooting and changing locations. This may be my nature. I don’t want to stay in one place for too long. At that time, I felt that if I couldn’t walk far away, I would choose to walk nearby. In short, don’t stop in the same place. In a literary and artistic way, it is to keep wandering all the time.
Some places just meet my requirements, and these places are all near universities. Often, only near universities can you rent a monthly house and even daily houses. This short-term rental model is completely tailor-made for me. In just a few months, I have changed many places and lived near the University of Finance and Economics, North Campus of Science and Technology (Art School), Sichuan Normal University Headquarters, Sichuan Normal University East District, Sichuan Yin...
During that time, I was having dinner in a small restaurant near the school. Others affectionately called me "classmate". Sometimes I thought I was a student in the school.
Sometimes when others see my age, they think I shouldn’t be a student, and undergraduates are not as old as me. For example, the owner of the cigarette seller downstairs in my house, he thinks I am definitely not an undergraduate. When I don’t know how to answer him, he suddenly gave me a thumbs up: “Are you studying for a master’s degree? Awesome!”
At that time, I didn’t understand why I did this. Later, I often thought that it might be that people are very eager for things they don’t have, maybe just to commemorate the college I haven’t finished, and of course it might be just to hook up with those girls in college.
In this city full of beauties, some stories will inevitably happen.
And in this city where there are more beautiful girls, many stories will inevitably happen in several universities that are rich in beauties.
It was a story-long little love song, and several small love songs floated in my life.
The so-called love song is a song you hear when you walk into a bar or out of a coffee shop. You will be finished after listening. This is a little different from the unforgettable love story. Perhaps it is a small episode in a love story.
At that time, I had a premonition that I entered a state of accumulation and development. These love songs eventually formed a relationship, but I didn’t know who I would start with.
During that time, my life was sunny. I wrote a line from Wong Kar-wai’s movie in QQ space: I know there is someone in this world waiting for me, but I don’t know who I am waiting for, because of this, I am very happy every day.
