Synopsis
One early morning in November 2022, Guangzhou announced the unblocking of the east and west corners of Haizhu District, and the middle blocked area was surrounded by water-filled barriers and tin walls overnight - which was called "one district, two regulations" by citizens.
Hanlu, who lived in west Haizhu District, asked her friends if they needed her supplies before she leaving Guangzhou, and Wan Qing, who lived in middle Haizhu, claimed some of the ingredients.
The two made an appointment to meet at the water-filled barriers at the blocked border and filmed along the way. After the editing of their own perspectives, they combined them to form this two-screen video.
