Red Fragments is an ongoing visual journey — a personal diary unfolding through the lens, revealing the subtle textures of Chinese life and spirit across iconic cities.

Through the streets of Shantou, Chongqing, Kashgar, Beijing, and Shanghai, I have wandered, quietly observing the lives of first-, second-, and third-generation families — their rituals, their echoes of tradition, and the quiet resilience woven into everyday moments.

This work is an intimate meditation on cultural identity and change — fragments of a vast, evolving story, capturing the tension between memory and progress, stillness and transformation
