穷途/Where the Road Ends


《晋书》载阮籍“率意独驾,车迹所穷,辄痛哭而返”。高中初读这则典故时,我便被其中蕴含的绝望与荒谬击中,仿佛看见自己生命的隐喻。此后,它如影随形,总在迷茫失意时浮现眼前。2024年起,这种穷途之感渐渐成为我的现实。或许是对古人的戏仿,亦或只是自我的排遣,我开始携相机漫游,四处拍摄,直至力竭路尽,方才折返。

The Book of Jin recounts how Ruan Ji "drove his carriage aimlessly, weeping bitterly when the road ended." I first read this in high school, struck by its despair and absurdity as a metaphor for my life. It has haunted me ever since.In 2024, this "road's end" feeling became my reality. Parodying the ancient sage, or perhaps just seeking solace, I began wandering with my camera, photographing until exhaustion or the road's end forced my return.
