I finally finished transcribing all 13 recorded conversations from Heilongjiang by hand.

It took me two weeks, on and off.

The first contact sheets.

A month of shooting has come to an end.

It feels like I gained so much, and yet somehow nothing at all.

In one month, I hurried through most of Heilongjiang.

I arrived at the northernmost point of China.

The plane landed at Harbin Taiping International Airport.

It wasn’t as cold outside as I had imagined.

My first time in Northeast China.

“I should go see the Northeast. There must be a lot of stories there.”

When the thought first came to me, I realized it might become my first photography project.
