“The photo was taken using a painted board in Kuling Park on Lushan…”


A woman is reminiscing about the story behind a photograph: it was a bright summer day


in the 1980s. Her family traveled to Lushan to escape the heat.


As her memory unfolds, we gradually come to see the forgotten history and that very


photograph being damaged by water stain.
