https://youtu.be/BqII-lWvVIA   This video is a story come up by using original footage. When I was on the plane, I took a lot of beautiful scenery, and I wanted to use the scenery in front of me to cut out a dream about one of my daily life. This video contains the song I played while wearing headphones on the plane, and the sound of the bell on my headphone box.

I was born in 2001, the second year of 21st century, which is an era of rapid development of information technology. Recently, I love sound very much: Sound editing, sound design, and play music. My world is quite simple, only consists of the Internet, film, and sound. But my world is also enriched because of the Internet, film, and sound. Also, my idols.  My Daily Life When I was in the primary school, my daily life: Go to the school, do my homework, and go outside to play with other children in the community. Now, my daily life: Go to the school, do my homework, stay at home to play with my phone and computer and to see films which only can be seen in the cinema in the past. The developments of medium do offer a more convenient life for us, but sometimes it leads to the lack of interpersonal communication and outdoor activities.  My "Job" I worked
