I'd like to tell a story start from a car...
Took a car with a camera which was produced by Land Rover. I screwed up my courage knocked on stranger's door and then hid myself, hope the strangers let the car go in to their room and shoot some photos. Because recently, in my country, there were some things happened made people feel our society seemed like a cold and heartless place. Everyone likes a cold fish. However, at least, I have always believe that the earth is still lovely... How about them? Are they willing to believe the strangers, and also willing to give a trust?

Thanks for Ji Li, Jiedan Du, Shao'an Lu, Zi Lan, Faye, gave me the help in this project.

我想讲一个故事，从一部小车开始......

最近新闻频繁出现反映社会人情冷漠的事件——多地发生老人跌倒帮忙送去医院的路人反被告，震惊全国的“小月月”事件等等。越来越多的负面消息引起社会热议，人与人之间的信任似乎成为大家心底笼罩的一层阴影。然而，我还是愿意相信，这个世界上“真善美”还是要比其他东西多。不知道其他人是怎么样的心态呢？他们还会愿意给出自己的信任吗？

带着这部可以用iPad控制、带摄像头的小车，我决定做一个实验。带着小车，敲开陌生人的门然后躲起来，希望他们能让小车进去拍一些照片。书中记录了我创作过程中的日记和小车进到宿舍拍下的有趣的照片。有的同学大大方方让小车进去了，还好奇的捧起它在看是什么东西，有的同学熟视无睹任由小车拍完照片离开，有位同学非常有意思的翻出了自己的
遥控车跟小车赛跑玩。当然也遇到了一个宿舍的同学用扫把把车挡在了门外面，小车被卡住，倒了好久的车才开了出来......

谢谢鸡哥（借我妈妈从美国带回来的小车），谢谢穆菲、蓝姿的支持，谢谢丹爷帮我记录创作过程。
