Broken memory, Changing hometown

Unromantic is the key word of this photo collection. All are about trivial daily life of ordinary people in the small town named Lintong, which is located in Qinling Mountains. Lintong is my hometown.

"Plain life" is the keyword of this photo collection. It tells the daily life of people at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. Lintong District, Shaanxi Province, China is my hometown. When I tried to recall my memories of this small town with people and things I had known since childhood, I found that it was no longer what it used to be. Like other prosperous cities, this small town has lost its original form in the process of expansion. The small town in my memory is gradually disappearing, but I am working hard to maintain my memory of this unchanging town. When I stood on the land of my hometown countless times, I realized that the current appearance of this small town was both familiar and unfamiliar to me.
