"In my hometown, Hengshui, in northern China, a shopping center that was never completed has been left abandoned. Wild plants grow in the building's interstices. Local residents have taken over certain spaces, transforming them into leisure areas for ping-pong, dance, boxing, etc.
One day, from my window I noticed that a once upright wild tree had leaned over, as if dying on the concrete roof."
