A few years ago, I completed a hitchhiking journey around China. It was my first time using a camera to document the trip. I felt hesitant to edit and share the footage at first, due to my lack of shooting skills. At that time, smartphones weren't as widespread as they are today. During the journey, we traveled across several provinces, from cities to deserts, from plateaus to seas, relying on 88 rides over the course of several months. I’m grateful to two friends who joined me on different parts of the journey, as well as to all the drivers who gave us a ride.
