For the Geneva space, the artist weaves a narrative that spans the life of an elder, a figure from his childhood whose story left an indelible mark. This elder's journey began around 1950 when he made the fateful decision to flee to Xinjiang, escaping a harrowing chapter in his family's history.
This artwork portrays his arduous journey back to Boulder Hill, where an unexpected deluge threatened the cherished letter he had received from home. He ingeniously sought refuge beneath a roadside branch to shield it from the rain's embrace.
Upon his return to Boulder Hill, he embarked on a new chapter in his life. However, his father's history cast a long shadow, and many in his hometown did not welcome him with open arms. Despite the challenges, he built a family, married, and even adopted a daughter whom he named Moon, a poignant testament to his enduring homesickness. Ultimately, his life journey reached its conclusion around the year 2000, succumbing to illness.
