Film Chronicles | Life in Yunnan: Part 3
The Search for Inspiration
As a writer, there are days when inspiration flows like a river, and then there are days when it dries up like a well in a drought. Recently, as I've been immersed in the creation of my new book, I've found myself drifting between these two extremes. The words that once came so easily now seem elusive, as if hiding just beyond the reach of my thoughts. On days like these, when my mind feels clouded and my creativity stifled, I find solace in revisiting the past. My online archive is a treasure trove of memories, a collection of old photographs that have been my faithful companions over the years. Among them is a set of images that never fails to stir something deep within me—pictures of Yunnan, taken many years ago on a quiet day when I wandered through a village, capturing life as it unfolded through the lens of my film camera.
