Artist sculpts childhood memory of open-air film

In Miaojiacun village, Jiashan county of Jiaxing city, Zhejiang province, intangible cultural heritage inheritor Ding Hailong recalled that one of the happiest moments of his childhood was watching an open-air film.

To capture that cherished memory, he created a clay sculpture titled Light and Shadow Memories, depicting villagers joyfully gathering to watch a movie.

"Back then, everyone's expression was full of happiness," Ding said. "Our clothes weren't fancy, but our happiness index was very high."
