The city gate is opened
"Open the City Gate" is a small topic about Beijing in memory. Artists who grew up in Beijing use their works to recall the sounds, images, and smells that have disappeared in Beijing. When you open the city gate, it is the wild ice of Shichahai, the rock on the road of the new Long March, and the sunny day...... The hometown of memory may not be reached, but it will not be forgotten.
