BLUR SCARS

Grandma moved in with us from the first day the house was renovated. No one has been there as long as my grandma, partly because she doesn't like going out very much, and partly because she's not as healthy as she used to be. But ironically, as more and more things are hoarded at home, fewer and fewer people stay in that house. Sometimes I feel the run-down of this house, like the withering of her heart. The last time I went home, I could feel her unease spreading throughout the house. For example, the mirror hanging on the entrance door, or the camera facing the front door and the living room, etc. She didn't complain to me about anything, but I could feel everything in the house is crying.

"Ever since she left, everything in the apartment is sad. I have to comfort them all before I go to sleep."

- Chungking Express (1994)
