Wu Qi returned to his hometown of Hunan and recorded the second issue of the “Small Place” feature with Heidi, the owner of the bookstore, Lu Taiyang, the anchor who opened a kindergarten, and Shi Ying, a freelancer.
“Would you like to go to the stream together?”
The word “Daliu” comes from the Changsha dialect, which means wandering aimlessly and doing nothing, so words with a slightly negative meaning are well digested in Changsha. 10 yuan per person, unlimited refills of tea, lying in a daze on a plastic reclining chair by the Xiangjiang River… Thinking about it, the “drunk”-style boredom enjoyed by the people of Changsha is not a kind of undisciplined freedom?
Recently, “Single Reading Weekend” has brought a series of pop-up exhibitions, drama reading salons, tea parties and other activities together with Changsha Jingzhong Bookstore. The anchor Wu Qi took the opportunity of this business trip to return to his hometown of Hunan, and recorded with Heidi, the owner of the bookstore, Lu Taiyang, the anchor who came to Changsha to open a kindergarten, and Shi Ying, a freelancer who returned home after living in Beijing for ten years. The second issue of “Small Places”.
They talked about all aspects of life in Changsha, shared with each other the roadmap for entering the city of Changsha, and developed specific visions from what they were doing. How to stray, how to run away, how to make choices in the moment, how to find freedom outside the labels of big cities and small places… are all things we urgently want to know.
