A high school student who has just finished his college entrance exam waits at a noodle shop for his biological parents Fin/Xun Li and Chuu/Chu Chu to celebrate his birthday, only to find out that both parents have forgotten it’s his special day.

Artist Statement
I believe that filmmaking—as, probably, everything—is a game you should play with all your cards, all your dice, and whatever else you’ve got. So, each time, in the limited time and space, I have been exploring and pursuing how to play this game well. I aim to use the language of photography to imply to the audience what I want to express in this multicultural world, to create more valuable content, and to provoke more thoughts.
