Some say that travelers on the road are overly sensitive, their emotions stirred by a mere path, their tears flowing at the sight of a cloud.
China, Dunhuang
Encountering the first period of emptiness in my life, I decided to once again bring along my dusty old companion, attempting to chance upon a storm in the Dunhuang desert, but to no avail. During the week spent in the company of scorching sun, I unexpectedly stumbled upon a surrealistic reality.
My initial visit to Dunhuang was inspired by a folk song, with lyrics that went, "I've seen a storm beneath the desert." For the following days, this image lingered in my mind, persisting for a long time. Until one serendipitous moment, I decided to bring my camera in search of that mental image.
The only way to reach the location for photographing was by riding. Unlike commercial attractions, the entire route was essentially desolate. The first half was paved with asphalt, but the latter half was nothing more than a narrow path trodden by villagers leading camels, a path carved out year after year in the desert. Riding in the desert was both challenging and unforgettable. You needed the help of the locals to familiarize yourself with the area. Consequently, few tourists could be seen here. Through interactions, you could feel that genuine kindness and warmth that is often lacking in our current lives.

The Camel Rider in the Desert
中國，敦煌
遭遇到人生中的第一次空窗期的我，決定再次帶上滿是灰塵的老伙計，試圖偶遇敦煌沙漠中的暴雨，未果。在與烈日結伴的一周時間裡，意外邂逅到的魔幻現實主義。
最初去到敦煌是因為一首民謠，裡面有一句歌詞這樣寫道：“我看過沙漠下暴雨”隨後幾天我腦海裡都是這個畫面，持續了很久， 直到一次機緣巧合，我決定帶上相機尋找腦海裡的畫面。
去往照片的拍攝地唯一的途徑就是騎行，這裡不同於商業景點，整段路基本上是荒蕪的，前半段還有柏油路，後半段就只有村民牽著駱駝幾十年如一日踩出來的一條小路，在沙漠中騎行是艱難的也是難忘的，因為你需要村民的幫助才能熟悉這裡，所以當地人很少能見到前來的遊客，能夠從交流中能感受到那種毫無保留的善意和熱情，正是我們當下生活中所缺少的。
