For the photography project of the Internet newspaper, Pressian, 10 photographers went to the river under the Four-River Development Project. They went there to listen to the voice of lives in the river and by the riverside that are groaning under the Four-River Development Project. The situations of the river were more serious than they expected. That was not just its appearance. Many were in confrontation with each other about the construction of the river, and their conflicts became serious. The photographers realized that they should do more than just showing the landscapes of the river.
In order to find different stories which are difficult to contain in their cameras, they went out to the river again to find something behind the river. There were many stories behind the river.
This story is just part of the stories. It is because the ‘straight line’ to cut the river is not only by the riverside. This film is a beginning of a long record about self-righteousness of SOMEONE.

At the curved riverside, red flags were stuck to the mud in a row. It was beyond my practice to see with my own eyes someone drawing a straight line on the river. So it was when I saw the eyes of a peasant who dropped his face. There was a straight line drawn on drying wormwood and pulled water parsleys.

I wanted to ask if you have ever thought that our ‘rivers’ flow in a straight line as if someone cut with a ruler. It is the question that we have asked nobody. The construction is irrevocable. What can we say to the grass shivering with wind on the riverside?
