Distant Intimacy

A distant intimacy.

There is such a person.

We used to be together.

Traverse the mountains and rivers, spend the wind and rain together.

There is such a period

Of our youthful memories that will never fade.

From each other.

“Where are we?”

“We are at xxx”

The “Where are we” series is a well-known “secret” between me and my fans, like a secret sign. Every time I took out my mobile phone for a selfie, they knew “Where are we” was coming, and soon as they picked it up. I knew they were my people.

I just started working on the “Where are we” series because every time I appear, my fans take pictures of me with their cameras and mobile phones. I also want to take pictures of them on my mobile phones. I want to remember everyone who supports me. Later. every time I could meet with them. I was flooded with work. hurriedly, and we didn’t have time to chat and talk like the beginning, so I simply did such a link every time as much as possible, a private link.

The group of people I recorded with my lens came from all over the world. I may not be able to remember the name of each of them. but I will remember the sincere look in their eyes. No matter where I go. they are always waiting. They cheer on me when I am tired. comfort me when I am sad, and be happy with me when I am happy. They have grown up with me for many, many years. In the middle of the night when the show was recorded, they were waiting for me to get off work with a light sign. At the crowded airport. they spontaneously surrounded me and chatted with me, giving me space on every public occasion, they did their best to give me the most applause and the best support as much as possible. Some people may say that they are crazy. but this kind of sincere devotion and love, like people drinking water. only I know.

I often think how can I get so much companionship and love? Acting is my dream and what they expect of me. On my way to chase my dream, they gave me courage, and they cheered for my dream.

We have many kinds of relationships. Sometimes when I finish work in a strange city and see them waiting outside, it’s like seeing my relatives after school sometimes we haven’t seen each other for a long time, and at the airport, they will share interesting things with me during this time, just like friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time. Talk about each other’s recent situation: sometimes on the way to work, they would cheer on me from a distance, like the neighbours who open the window every morning to greet each other, cheering each other up to start a new day of busyness. It’s such a comfortable relationship that makes me feel at ease to this day.

I remember that many years ago, there was a fan who often came to various events to support me. I grew up slowly, and she also grew up. When I met her at the airport some time ago, she no longer had the youthful look when I first met her, and she has become a lot more mature in her dress. Maybe she has her own work and life, but she still talked to me. It looks exactly the same as it was many years ago. The feeling of growing up together is really wonderful and very emotional.

At this time. I am also very proud. Such a group of people get together because of me in various forms and harvest a valuable friendship. They will also give each other courage and encourage each other to live their own lives and grow into better selves. This is also my best hope.

And “Where are we” is also a record and witness of our growth together. Maybe in the future, when we are all grey-haired, and there are thousands of “Where are we” accumulated in my mobile phone. When you look through your phone when nothing is wrong. you will think of such a group of people. We once traversed mountains and rivers and spent the wind and rain together. There is such a time that we will never fade away from each other’s youthful memories. This is also a type of feeling of happiness, so, shall we meet you at the next “Where are we?”
