She is a middle aged women who is a "Beijing drifter". Although we don’t have much contact with each other in daily life, we still have a small number of intersections and we also live in the same city. When she told me her story, I was surprised and shocked, so I decided to go into her life deeply. I gradually realize that although both we are far away from home, my helplessness is just a lack of spiritual comfort, while she has to bear more than I thought. Maybe people like her who are silent and unheard is the majority of the city, and the elite class I imagined in my mind is a minority, which makes me think about whether the people I contact with were real or imagined. In the different scenes of her work and life, I choose to use the documentary shooting method to introduce and record her life truly. Only in this way, it can she show her life more completely.

This concept enlarges a small common point into a whole.
