#41 Chongqing Cedar

中文简单

Whenever Luo Jiali is not in Chongqing, once she sees a Cedar tree, her heart returns to her hometown.

***************

Jiali’s words:

Hello everyone, I am Luo Jiali, and I am currently in Zhaomushan Forest Park in Chongqing.

Today I want to share with you the story of me and a tree

I live nearby, so I often come for a walk

One day I walked up the mountain along this path I often take

I looked up by chance

I actually saw an unexpected scene

This moment was shocking

Then I felt as if time had stopped

From that moment on, I seemed to have established some kind of emotional connection with this fir tree

It reminds me of my hometown

It makes me feel that I have a permanent connection with my hometown and Chongqing

This is a very mysterious relationship similar to friendship

Open Call for your tree story on video 

Memory Palace of Tree Stories is a socio-ecological art practice which invites you to tell a story or share information about trees . It is a creative-led social enquiry of how we can live well for both personal and collective wellbeing. Your story can be any kind of tree story , a personal tree story, an ecological tree story , an environmental tree story, an historical tree story or even a botanical tree story. I do hope you can contribute a comment on how we can live better with the greater community of life.

The year 2023 we continue to gather your stories in the form of one minute videos and we are really looking forward to hearing your tree story . I can be contacted directly on this platform or on the contact page on this website.
