Grandpa’s Diary
In the ninety years of my grandfather’s life, he has experienced several important historical periods in China over the past century. His life is inevitably branded with the mark of the times. My design is to sort up the footprints of my grandfather in his life to explore the historical changes and experience the fate and helplessness of individuals being encumbered by history.
