Before then, each morning would always feel alive, however, in the short days that followed, speculations and wary evenings became the only thing they\u2019re familiar with. Through Zhang\u2019s lens, the viewers will feel like they\u2019re being suffocated from the restrictions of distancing.<\/p>\n<p>In the confinement of concrete cages, they are merely numbers, living side by side without ever having the privilege of being close enough to know each other\u2019s names. Instead, the closest they\u2019ll ever get to each other is their own wails of frustrations over needs for medicine and food. Aside from Coronavirus, desolation also ripened into an epidemic of its own. Its existence felt foreign yet familiar, like the embrace of an old friend. Every shot from Zhang\u2019s documentary is monochromatic except for a few specific parts, representing hope. And the story in<em> Shanghang Quarantopia <\/em>(2023) ends with uncertainty. When we finally laid eyes on Zhang\u2019s documentary, has her time on quarantine finally come to an end?<\/p>\n<p><em>Shanghai Quarantopia <\/em>(2023) is dedicated to those who survived Shanghai in the Spring of 2022.
