I lived in Beijing for more than a decade, but I didn't really know it, and photography became an opportunity for me to explore the metropolis. Exploration means adventure, from a safe place to an unknown field, and such movement is not only in the physical space, but also in the spiritual and emotional evolution. I keep roaming in the city, Capture the connection between people and cities and read rich metaphors from them, thinking about how urban space shapes people's lifestyle and desires, and whether there is another world hidden under the surface of daily life. In this immigrant city of 20 million people, countless people come and go with their dreams and sorrows, i feel like i'm both without and within. When the stream of reality that is constantly dissipating and reassembling becomes a photograph, I arrive at the other side of reality.

The Lebanese crisis and the lack of ingredients put at risk the famous Lebanese cuisine. Food prices Soares as a consequence of the devaluation of the Lebanese currency. Lebanon is grappling with a severe food crisis, driven by a combination of economic collapse, political instability, and the impact of the global pandemic. The country's currency devaluation has led to soaring food prices, making basic necessities increasingly unaffordable for the majority of the population. Widespread unemployment and a sharp increase in poverty levels have further exacerbated the crisis, leaving many Lebanese households struggling to put food on the table. The collapse of the agricultural sector and disruptions in supply chains have also contributed to food shortages, creating a dire situation where even staple items are scarce. International aid efforts are underway, but the complex socio-economic and political challenges facing Lebanon make it a daunting task to alleviate the food crisis and restore stability to the nation.
