在香港游行期间，示威者占领了立法院，在墙上喷下Hong Kong is no China的标语。我在一个深夜模仿了他们的非法行为，在曼哈顿桥下喷涂了这个非法的涂鸦，但以一个含义不明的句子篡改了标语的内容。
9/5 拍下第一张照片
十天后的我返回这个地点，is not 没有了，显然有人不喜欢它。只留下了Chinatown Chinatown. 它的含义完全变了，成了Chinatown的宣传标语。9/15, 拍下第二张照片
10/13
大概一个月之后我再次回到这个地方，有了第三张照片。这面墙上出现了更多的涂鸦，原本中间被擦掉的空隙被填上了一个新的，和原本的句子结合在一起。我读不出来是什么，于是去问一个常画涂鸦，来自洛杉矶的朋友，他是这方面的专家。他告诉我这似乎是一个女孩儿的名字，因为这种字体的变形形式经常用来写名字，另外只有女孩子才会把名字边上配上两个小红心。
9/5 The first picture was taken.
Ten days later. "Is not" was gone. All what's left is "Chinatown Chinatown".
10/13, more graffiti appeared on the wall, the place that had been erased in the middle was filled in with a new work, combined with rest of the original sentence. It's hard for me to read, so I asked a friend from LA who doodles a lot, an expert. He told me that it seemed to be a girl's name, because this variant is often used to write names and girls always like to put two hearts next to it.
