This is a bilingual (Mandarin–English) collection of diaries, essays, research notes, and photographs documenting my eating experiences on various public transportation. From trains, subways, and buses to airplanes and even walking, the publication offers a ‘not-so-serious’ exploration of the historical shifts and cultural differences in transit dining across different countries.
What qualifies as ’transit food‘? What does a ‘transit table’ look like in different contexts? Can public transportation be seen as a ‘Fourth Space‘? And how do we derive a unique satisfaction from the dual dynamics of moving and eating? ...
本书通过中英双语的日记、杂谈、学术研究和摄影图片，记录了我近几年在不同公共交通工具上的进食体验，全面涵盖火车、地铁、巴士、飞机、行走等交通方式中的饮食行为及其内涵，“不那么严肃”地探讨了各国交通饮食的历史变迁与文化差异。
什么样的食物可以被称为“过渡性食物”？在不同语境中，“过渡餐桌”会呈现出怎样的形态？公共交通是否可以被视为一种“第四空间”？我们又是如何在“移动”与“进食”这两种动态并行的过程中，获得一种独特的满足感？

A Guide to Fry an Egg: The Egg Theory on Photography
Year: 2023
Book size: 148mm x 210mm, 44 pages

Observing, picking, measuring, transforming, flavouring, distributing, and being consumed... I have set up a humorous hypothesis that traces the uncanny similarities of the process between ‘frying an egg’ and ‘taking a photograph’ from the nature of the subject to its multiple strategies and manifestations. Through the perspective of the symbolic interactionism theory proposed by the sociologist Herbert Blumer, this essay investigates the ways in which the creation, observation, and dissemination of images in contemporary society can be seen similarly to how we consume eggs.
The fleshiness and fluidity, choices of cracking, consumer culture, the postmodern moulds, abjection of the yolk, expiration date, salt and pepper, as well as all the invisible diseases...
