这条短片展现了对于中国武侠世界的意境之描述。

江湖是自古以来人们对于侠客世界的想象,因而每个人心中都有一个属于自己的江湖的模样。

而实际上,江湖就是对人性最集中化的展现,它是人对利益争夺最赤裸的展现,也交织着人们对自由的浪漫想象。

This short film explores the artistic essence of Jianghu, the fabled realm of Chinese martial arts and the clandestine underworld of society.

Since ancient times, Jianghu has existed in the imagination as a world of roving knights, where every individual envisions their own version of it in their heart.

In truth, this underworld serves as a stage for the rawest expressions of human nature—a battleground of ambition and survival, yet also a canvas for the romantic ideal of ultimate freedom.
