PARTRIDGE

In Room 33 of the British Museum, there are several dark tea bowls on top of the display case. These tea bowls known as Jian ware which are from my birthplace. To make a documentary about Jian ware, I returned to the city with mixed feelings. But I found it changed a lot. Trains, ruins, "partridges" and trees... Through various images, I try to find people's childhood and memories that are gradually disappearing in the process of urbanisation in China.
