In 1995, a rain-soaked road in Shandong Province stretches into the distance. Bare trees line both sides, and a solitary figure walks away from the camera, underscoring themes of solitude and scale.

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