Reflection
When I first encountered this topic, inspiration naturally came to mind along with my childhood memories. Immediately, I thought of the time when I planted a tree with my grandpa in Ningbo. The sapling we tended together grew silently in my heart, turning into the most direct connection between me and nature in this bustling world. This personal experience inspired me to create this video. During my exploration of my hometown Ningbo, I surprisingly discovered things that I hadn't noticed even after living here for nearly fifteen years. I encountered multiple unique landscapes, like the Academician Forest where every tall tree represents one academician. It revealed how knowledge interacts with the natural world. In Yuehu Park, I marveled at the water systems that had saved Ningbo years ago. Through this video, I hope to inspire people to recognize their own bond with nature. These connections are personal, yet equally vital for everyone. Nowadays, a fast-paced life has become the norm; I want to remind people to pause and explore their inner peace. No matter how tiny your connection is, it can bring us a genuine sense of belonging.
