Look at land and buildings with a warm eye and regard them as part of people's lives.
Treat the people living in it with a gentler attitude.

Today the home you have lived in all your life is going to be demolished. How should you spend this day?
Today is the day and I know they are on their way.
I count everything in the house,
Move the immortelle to the backyard so it can keep butterflies company.
I made tea and wanted to sit with Lao Zhang, but then I realized that he had moved to a further corner of the city...

Award-winning painter Zhang Zijun uses simple poetic words, colored pencils and collage techniques to construct fragments of the protagonist's life, pack up the memories of life, say goodbye to the accompanying plants, and recall the past of fighting with partners...

Today is the last day. After all, I have to leave the most familiar home.

Look at the land and buildings with a gentler eye, and understand that they are part of the lives of the residents and a place where they settle down. When big corporations invade their "home", they destroy not only the land and buildings, but also the life experiences within them.

Zijun uses gentle tones to take us into her grandma's home, which she carefully maintained and has been with her all her life. The mood of the picture is calm, without accusation, as calm as an observer, but it makes readers deeply feel the reluctance and helplessness. Although change is necessary, I hope more people will listen to these minority voices, maybe they are not being treated reasonably? Maybe next time we see similar news, we can stop and #listentominority.
