VOLUME ONE


Downtown Los Angeles is the heart of the city and the site of its birthplace. Home to some of L.A.'s most

historic neighborhoods, DTLA is a place that is filled with world-class hotels, restaurant, luxury shops, spectacular cultural attractions, and everything else that indicates a vibrant civilization while more and more species of our own are digging through the garbage bin for food everyday.

Everyone has his or her inner order that defines its own value. It is a set of values and orders that exist in each one of us, and the source for us to sense, act, react, and interact with one self and others. 

内心秩序是一套存在于我们每个人内心的价值序列。是我们感受彼此和随之行动的源泉。


Inexorable events, reasons both known and unknown, happen in our lives. However, the wheel of the life force will not stop until the time comes. We have to follow the forward spin however we can.

Some people we tried so hard to hold on eventually drifted away, 

Some pains we erased so carefully became clearer and clearer when time passed by. 

Memories are like the salt you put in water, you don’t see it anymore yet the water has been changed forever.


A terracotta warrior from 210 BCE accidentally enters modern Downtown Los Angeles, strolling through the early morning streets before the metropolis wakes. The Ruan, an ancient Chinese instrument, is the warrior and the city is the electronic textures. The warrior and the city are stunned and fascinated by the unknowns, beauty, and confusion of each other. Surprisingly, they realize that the rhythms and ways within them both share a common thread.   

Walking on the surface of the moon and enlightened by the divine light that is out of our imagination.


In the People’s Republic of China, Plaza Dancing is an exercise routine performed to music in squares, plazas or parks of the nation’s cities.  It is popular with middle-aged and retired women who have been referred to as “dancing grannies” in the English-language media. This piece is for the Chinese grannies and their self-created happiness.

There is a force, subtle yet strong, halcyon yet everlasting.

有种力量, 虽阴柔却刚强。非来势凶猛,但绵绵流长。


The pulse and heartbeat that we all share, the steps and paths that we are all on, the human spirit of resilience, love, tolerance, and co-existence that we all celebrate makes us one no matter where you are from and what you believe.

Based on the traditional Chinese pipa music “ Song of Frontier'' which depicts the Han princess Wang Zhaojun’s longing for her country and family. Zhaojun was known as one of the “Four Beauties” of ancient China. She was sent by emperor Yuan to May Chanyu Huhanye of Xiongnu Empire in order to establish friendly relations with the Han Dynasty through marriage.
