Mary Soo Hoo Park is at a corner right next to the Chinatown gate. The Park is often crowded with people who gather to play cards and Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) at picnic tables. Perhaps many of them are Chinese immigrants. The Park is right across of restaurants by the street. But the sight of a group of old men and women playing cards and games is not very interesting, especially for pedestrians who are probably hungry and looking for food. I walked among the tables and poked my head to see how the games were going. The atmosphere was heated. People who were watching the games offered advice loudly. 

在中国城有一个角落，那里常常聚集了来下棋打牌的中老年华人。比起对面饭店和火锅店，一群老年人吵吵嚷嚷的玩牌的景像一点也不吸引游客。我穿过人群想看看输赢，无奈几乎每个桌子都围满了人。气氛热烈。人声鼎沸。我也跟大家一起在这个被遗忘的角落自娱自乐。

May 13, 2017 / 16:51 / 42.361583, -71.056083 / A Dollar A Box! /农贸集市 / Haymarket is Boston’s historic outdoor market where you could find the biggest produce bargain / A box of fresh strawberries is as low as 99 cents / But what attracts me is its preservation of the face-to-face interaction between people that is largely missing in many chain grocery stores / Today, the market finds a diversity of the sellers and buyers / On a warm day, the air is filled with the aroma of fresh produce as well as the lively conversations of people / I stood at a narrow path between a vegetable stand and a cheese stand / The plastic covers for the tents were flapping in the wind / A young girl was trying to help bag the vegetables / A man shouts, “Dollar, dollar, dollar!” to attract customers / A man walked by and jokingly asked if I was holding a camera / Going to Haymarket reminds me of the time when buying produce depended entirely on visiting the local produce markets / Back then, buying things meant talking with people //

Haymarket是波士顿历史悠久的户外农贸市场 / 在物价不菲的市里，一盒草莓只要99美分 / 到这里买菜可以和商贩面对面的交流，和在超市里面对排放整齐的商品是完全不一样的感觉 / 卖菜和买菜的人很多来自不同的文化背景，他们的英文带着各种口音 / 我站在一个蔬菜摊子和一个奶酪摊子中间 / 大风把遮盖棚子的塑料布吹得哗哗作响 / 小贩们大声吆喝自己低廉的价格吸引顾客 / 一个男子喊道：“一元！一元！一元！” / 一位女摊主幼小的女儿帮她拿袋子装菜 /  一个中年男子看到我的录音机，停下来好奇的问：“这是相机吗？/ 不是相机的话那一定是一个香蕉吧！哈哈哈！“ 然后自己开心的走了 / 看着大家挑挑选选，让我想起小时候买菜必须得去这样的农贸市场挑选原料，跟商贩讨价还价 //

About the Artist:
Li Wang (https://soundcloud.com/genobunny) grew up in a coastal city in south China, where the industrialization dramatically shifted the natural landscape / In her childhood, she spent a lot of time taking adventures in the woods with her puppy / There she made friends with animals and plants / Later Li continued her adventure with nature at a molecular level / She explored the behavior of genes in a biology laboratory / Although Li enjoyed the process of solving complicated scientific problems, she discovered her desire to work with image and sound / When Li came to America, she carried her curiosity for biology into the process of media making, as a way to understand human minds and emotions / Soon after she began Emerson College’s Media Arts program in Boston, sonic elements became a critical part of her artistic explorations / She is intrigued by the soundscape that is shaped by the architecture, human activities and nature //

王励在中国北部湾的一个海港城市长大 /她曾经在大学和研究生院学习生物学 /但最终，她决定要用图像和声音来创造故事 /她随后来到美国学习电影和媒体 /在波士顿爱默生学院学习媒体艺术期间，对声音的探索成为了她艺术创作的重心 /平时在影视录音和后期混音之余，她常常用手持录音机录下有趣的声音 //
