“依曦”是人们给荷花的名字，因为他们认为它“日出而生”的特性是对太阳的敬畏。荷，出淤泥而不染，这就是为什么它被认为是太阳创造和重生的象征。我的电影描绘了一次荷叶之旅。我们跟踪记录了一些采荷人和治茶工人，他们用现代化的机械设备去加工荷叶。最后，荷叶以茶的形式转化和再生。影片通过诗意的表现手法和视觉上的辩证镜头，目的让观众产生一种真切的具有交互性的感受。电影的叙述是循环的。就像河流的流动，工人的“流动”，一切事物的流动。而莲花的美丽是神圣的，所以它只在电影的结尾被揭示出来。它的存在就意味着要人们记住根—一切开始的起点，是延续和创造的关键。

“Lover of Light” is the name people gave to the lotus for they perceived its behavior as a form of reverence to the sun. This is why it is considered to be a symbol of the sun, of creation and of rebirth, since it emerges unaffected from the muddy waters. My movie portrays the voyage of the lotus leaves which are born in the lake, then meet and interact with humans who, in a choreographic sequence with the machines, process them. In the end, the leaves are transformed and reborn in the form of tea. This voyage is illustrated through a poetic touch and visually dialectic shots which aspire to engage the audience in an interactive viewing where senses come before logic. The narration of the movie is circular just like the flow of the river, the flow of the workers’ movements, the flow of everything, if you look close enough. The holiness and beauty of the lotus flower is sacred, so it is only revealed at the end of the movie and its presence is there to state that remembering the roots - the starting point - is the key to continuity and creation.
