At sunrise, a stunning rural field landscape features a very long and wide path entirely covered by countless Chinese Gaokao admission letters, extending into the horizon. The letters are neatly arranged, each detailed with Chinese characters and official seals, capturing the significance of these documents. The field is lush and vibrant, with soft morning light creating a serene and hopeful atmosphere.

The first image fixes a single focal point in depth. The space between the subject and the 'camera lens', as well as between the subject and horizon, is almost 'vacant.' This hollowness, with a strong central yet slightly off-center subject, suggests some precarious detachment. Wind and waves add emotional 'coloring' as mentioned in my first post of this series.
