This is a three-channel video installation, with the old television as the medium for presentation, sound-based, video-related content for the conversation. Through conversations with male teachers, female friends and strangers, the video discusses the concept of "name": understanding the concept of name in the Chinese context, and exploring different countries, cultures, sexes and family issues. Thinking language has become a symbol of identity, in the present social concepts in the social and cultural context. This project probes into the rules and restrictions of language and logic which controls people's cognition, and criticises the restriction on people and the performability of their identities.
