TEARING DOWN THE EAST WALL
NARRATIVE SEQUENCE, STYLEFRAMES
The title sequence is essentially about a story that unveils the social phenomenon of demolition. I drew inspiration from a Chinese song called "拆东墙" (Tearing down the East Wall) by my favorite musician, Vae Xu.
The story revolves around a man who inherits his family's old restaurant and leads a peaceful life, but the government attempts to acquire his land by offering compensation, he hesitates because the restaurant has been a cherished family business for a hundred years, and the old house has been passed down through generations. Eventually, the government forces him to leave, and his restaurant is completely demolished, erasing all of the family history and cherished memories.
This ongoing social issue persists in modern society, highlighting the powerlessness and helplessness of the public when they confront authority and the absence of human rights. My goal is to visualize this story to shed light on these issues.
