Synopsis

These buildings that will never be completed are called unfinished buildings in China, and we call them the Garden of Eden. But this Eden is not like the other Eden. There are no flowers and heaven here; it's cold and ugly. But there is temptation and original sin, a closed psychological space. Every night, I face the computer alone, carefully editing and analyzing. It turned out to be a questioning of gods and legends, deconstructing the concept of the classic text "Eden".
