Shot 1, 0–2s, extreme close-up. Early morning, an elderly pair of hands slowly pushes a bowl of hot tea across a bluestone table. Wisps of steam rise, blending with the thin morning mist outside the window. The scene tranquil, its rhythm like breathing. Shot 2, 2–5s, low-angle wide shot. The camera hugs close to the damp bluestone paving, a line of silhouetted figures slowly approaching from deep within the alley, old walls covered in moss on both sides, red lanterns swaying gently in the morning breeze. Light pours in from the mouth of the alley, backlit, golden dust drifting. Shot 3, 5–8s, medium shot, slow push-in. A young woman stands alone by the water at Dujiangyan, gazing blankly at the river that has surged on for a thousand years. The hem of her clothes lifted by the wind, the sound of the river drowning out everything else. The camera slowly circles around; heaven and earth vast, the person looking very small, yet very resolute. Shot 4, 8–11s, fast montage, each frame about 0.5 seconds. A stunning frozen moment of face-changing (bian lian) skill / a giant panda lazily raising its head to look straight at the camera / candlelight flickering in Wuhou Shrine, illuminating thousand-year-old stone carvings / at night, Jinli crowded with people under a sky full of fireworks. Each frame richly colored, the editing landing like drumbeats. Shot 5, 11–13s, dusk. A boy leans on the windowsill of a teahouse, chin in hand, watching the people come and go on the street, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly. Inside the old teahouse, the soft local dialect murmurs, mahjong tiles clack, time seeming to have never left this place. Handheld camera, gentle and authentic. Shot 6, 13–15s, the drone slowly rising. Chengdu under the night sky, ten thousand lights all aglow, the Jin River winding like a ribbon, the city, the mountains, and the plain merging into one magnificent whole. The image gradually darkens, white text fading in— Narration: "There's a city that once you've come, you don't want to leave." (pause) "Chengdu has always been this way."
