Hills Beyond a River is a 3D animation, which created by visual artist Miao Jing in 2017. This 7 mins long video recreated the landscape of artist’s hometown in China, Chongqing, which is a city so-called “Mountain City” with two rivers, Long River and Jialing River, across the city.

The artist has lived in this city for twenty more years, and totally see the process of the transformation of this city. The new replaces the old; the skyscraper replaces the already-high mountains; the new highway/roads replace the old street view, some old neighborhood is disappearing, etc. A huge nostalgia rise in artist’s heart, especially when he now lived abroad and couldn’t recognize his hometown whenever he came back. The nostalgic emotion includes the confusing reaction for the brand new “home” in construction, also a sentimental commemoration for the old landscape, the complex of childhood, the memory, the old home.
