Chapter Three : The Observer’s Eye
The observer’s eye expounds the relationship between the elderly and teenagers. When I was 22 years old and I met my 22-year-old father, it concretized time, space and time. It comes from what my father once said to me: young people have troubles and worries, and their predecessors have experienced it. Although my father is far away, I can feel the traces and afterimages of his journey when he was about the same age as me. The dilapidated house and a pair of old shoes are metaphors for the things he used and left behind, symbolizing what he once told me his advice is a kind of protection and the cornerstone of success.

Meaning of Suitcases and Hills
Viewers can find suitcases and hills from almost every work of the “Chapter series “. This is because I believe life is like a journey and a suitcase symbolizes a container to encapsulate everything we have and the people we meet. The distant but visible hills metaphor the challenges or hardships we are going to face.
