Elegy

This is Meng-Hua singing right now.

A certain proportion of Chinese people have shown a kind of ignorance toward rules. That’s why most Chinese people have the dream of being brave and ready to challenge the rules at any time. The image of a knight precisely explained this dream of people. The knight is a symbol of ignoring the rules.

Countless video games are based on the story of knights. In those games, you can be a knight and customize your looks, your skills, and other things you want. These game characters are like performers and it’s the audience who can decide anything about these characters. They live and die because of humans.

In the world of Meng-Hua, the virtual reality platform, everyone is given the opportunity to customize features of the fantasy character to let loose their desires and imaginations.

The architecture in the background of Elegy referenced the architecture in video games as well. They are quite different from the true ancient buildings by adding some elements of modern design, also filling with exaggerated fantasy and many unreasonable building structures. Everything as the audience wished for.

In Meng-Hua…

I put the whole piece of Elegy on the ridge of the mountain since it is the best location to perform. Not too high or low.

The building to display Elegy is an ancient performing stage in China. And the display screen referenced the stage of exhibiting the game characters in modern video games.
