SYNOPSIS


 Synopsis 

From an apartment in Beijing, a woman is writing postcards to a man in London. The woman¡¯s voice tells her loneliness in a rapidly changing China.



 
 Program Note 

A woman returns to Beijing after leaving her life in Britain of four years and sends a postcard to her lover. She is bewildered by the changes in Beijing in preparation of the Olympics. In the postcard she talks in a quiet tone about her feelings in Britain, and people¡®s expectations of changing Beijing, restaurant workers, a butcher¡®s shop and people on the street. However, the postcard was returned stamped ¡®address unknown¡® and her lover has disappeared to a place where she cannot reach. There is anxiety and loneliness in her voice which is overlapped above the landscape of Beijing. The blind letter looks like the woman who can¡®t find her way in China, switching over to a new era, nor in Britain to which she promised to go back. (BAE Ju-yeon)
