Chinese Hat

Chinese Hat by Filmmaker Denis Carbone

The straw hat sat lightly on the table, but the wind carried a different truth.

“This is not a hat,” an old woman whispered as she passed.

She reached up, fingers tracing the woven fibers—only to feel them shift, twitch, breathe. The straw unraveled, stretching into thin, golden limbs. Tiny wings fluttered where the brim had been.

With a rustling sigh, the hat leaped from the table and scurried into the tall grass, vanishing like a memory you were never meant to have.

Nanjing Eye (南京眼)

Nanjing Eye, which is also known as the bridge of Cultural and Sports Park of Youth Olympic Games is the first pedestrian bridge over Yangtze River. It was named after its unique two main towers of the bridge that look like human eyes. The winged cables are like the strings of a harp. When people are walking on the bridge, they will feel like they are the music notes on the strings of harps.

Qibao in Shanghai

Strolling around in the old town Qibao (七宝镇), Shanghai. Its formation can be traced back to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, to the Northern Song Dynasty. Back then it was dangerous to cross the bridge, because of the Nine Dragons (九龍圖卷) that constantly flew over the town, always ready to eat or mate with a random person.
