The sun is a heart that has burned itself for ten thousand years,
the moon a lightless mole on its chest.
The moon has no fire of its own,
yet it has learnt the shape of the sun.
It borrows an inch of dark,
blocks a light that was never its to keep,
and the world tilts its head up,
gives its gasp to the ring of shadow.
The corona leaks out from the edge,
and no one calls it light,
they call it — a flaw,
a slip that couldn’t quite be covered.
At totality,
the dark takes centre stage,
and the applause takes centre stage with it.
A performance on borrowed light,
A black sun.

Mama, I can’t fix you and you can heal me.
“The Wind Passed Over My Mother“ is the most personal film and story I have ever created. It is a deeply intimate documentary essay about a strong-willed woman from rural Sichuan, alongside the lives of her mother, sisters, and children — tracing a journey from a childhood spent herding cattle in the countryside, to leaving for China’s coastal cities during the 1980s in search of a different life, and eventually returning home. The film is about departure, migration, homecoming, and intergenerational wounds.
That woman is my mother.
Making this film has been a difficult process, filled with emotional, philosophical, and moral struggle. The film has existed in my mind for many years, and only now has it finally become possible through the shared act of remembering and creating together with my mother. Wandering through the towns where she rebuilt her life with fierce determination, following the traces of her journey, I also began to understand my own inner world more clearly — the love hidden beneath silence, the fear, the anger, and the obsessive longing to make sense of it all.
I hoped this film would unfold like a memory itself: fragmented and drifting, gentle and restrained, yet unafraid of the darker corners of life. I also hoped the work could reach somewhere beyond language. That it might arrive beside you quietly, like the wind.
This letter carried by the wind is dedicated to the courage hidden within women of her generation, to the wounds they endured in silence, and to the light in them that never truly disappeared.
The Wind Passed Over My Mother was primarily filmed and completed between 2024 and 2025. It incorporates extensive archival material and family footage, and premiered in Berlin in July 2025.
And it’s available on YouTube: @oboahy

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this film into existence.
Thank you to my mother for creating it with me.
Dedicated to my mother.
Sincerely,
AHY

Do you know where else we could go?
I’m not quite sure.
The world has changed.
It once had no boundaries,
then became filled with borders.
From those borders,
it began to merge again,
only to close itself off once more.
It feels as though…
the distant horizon is growing more blurred
with each passing day.
We no longer know what lies far away.
I’m grateful that I can still set out towards somewhere beyond.
If it were possible,
I would take you all with me.
Though even now,
I’m not entirely sure
what that “far away” really is,
or where the end of the world might be.

In contemporary discussions about China, Iran, Venezuela, Palestine and the West, terms such as “anti-imperialism”, “freedom”, “oppression”, and “the people” are used with increasing frequency, yet they seem less and less capable of pointing to actual lives and concrete conditions. People across different societies often speak in similar political vocabularies, while inhabiting radically different structures of risk.

The Way Our Generation Says Goodbye | Life in 2025 Pt.II
We cry, we wave goodbye,
we hold on to what goes by,
that’s how we know
we’re still alive.
Time will pass,
and so will days,
yet even thinking this,
even writing it down,
if the world were kind in small, soft ways,
perhaps more hearts
would find a place to stay.
But here we are,
with marks and scars,
and that’s all right,
that’s who we are.
When they ask for silence,
we speak.
When they ask for gentleness,
we stand.
When they ask us to behave,
we take a risk
and reach out our hand.

Life in 2025 Pt. I: Save Me A Seat (Prologue)
If one day,
a comet charts its path toward Earth,
and Musk or Bezos slips a ticket into my hand,
I will refuse.
I belong to the Earth—
to this land that’s been polluted,
been loved,
and bled upon.
I belong to those who still resist,
to those who still believe
that change is not a dream deferred,
but a future that insists
on being born.
I love my Earth.
She raised me,
watched me grow,
and forgave my ignorance
more times than I will ever know.
I love my family, my friends.
I love the curve of mountains,
the breath of rippling water,
the wildflowers, the grass,
the high peaks and the hush of lakes.
So let me stay,
let me stand with every living creature
as we receive that falling light.
I do not wish to flee,
nor board a coloniser’s ship.
If destiny decrees our end,
then let me burn with Earth,
quietly, joyfully—
and be destroyed,
together.
May the wind, the bird, the dream,
Or someone kind,
Carry off our small sorrows,
And take us to a new mothership.
Music: "等 (Waiting)" by Nono 陈童言
