The Spring Festival is the most significant festival for Baitang people. This time, I am like the daughter of the Liu family, closely observing and presenting the behavior and cognition of the younger people from the perspective of Liu. Thus engaging in an implicit dialogue on change and inheritance.

I firmly believe that Baitang should be recorded. Baitang is too small to accept social changes. Baitang is a microcosm of currently social background. I was fortunate enough to encounter it in its later years and accompany it through its final years.
