For the current consideration of the peripheral spaces within the

urban-rural structure in China, based on this threshold space, an attempt is made to construct and deduce the possible social forms that may exist in the future.

A child of migrant workers during the urbanization wave, aiming to transform the true absurdity of their experiences into an image-based experience.

As a second-generation migrant from urban and rural areasI am dedicated to researching

MARKET FIRE

MARKET FIRE

This film focuses on the spatial transformation of Xiamen's Eighth market.


Under the familiar society, private spaces have evolved into open consumer spaces for tourists, while the boundaries between local residents' living spaces and commercial market spaces have gradually blurred.


Using “fire” as its central motif, the film constructs reflections on survival amidst destruction. Does commercialization represent the “fire of continuity” sustaining market vitality, or does overheated capital completely devour the city's traditional culture?


Through probing interviews with residents, the film further raises critical questions about the appropriate “degree” of urban renewal.

The world view of this commercial project depicts the road punk culture created by the second-generation immigrants. This group, meaninglessly translated as "Expel", has fled from the past imprisonment and broken free from the constraints of both urban and rural societies. Their exploration of self becomes their mission. Seeking the individual value of the present is the ultimate goal of "Expel".
