In 1995, a rain-soaked road in Shandong Province stretched into the distance. Bare trees flank both sides, and a solitary figure departs from the camera, accentuating themes of solitude and scale.

The reflective surface of the road records the recent rain, while the symmetry of the trees and utility poles reinforces a quiet, repetitive rhythm. The image conveys the physical and emotional atmosphere of rural travel, where distance is measured by walking, and weather shapes daily movement.
