Power-Narratives SeriesFor the City that Cried Last Night2020
Wuhan doctor Li Wenliang passed away on February 7, 2021. He was one of the first doctors to publicly disclose COVID-19. At the time of his death, in a somewhat hypocritical display of sentiment, the hospital in Wuhan was ordered to "resuscitate" his body.

The events of February 7 shocked me so much, and then made this video work the next day when the whole city was crying. In the video, I let the grand narrative and the individual narrative intertwine into a river with the wailing of the entire city, as short as a few words uploaded on a social platform.
