Travel Notes: Military Confinement, Keep Off
2020, Sun Yuan
Some day during the pandemic threat, I climbed over the wall and entered the factory of a closed industrial enterprise of the military in Western Beijing. The factory used to produce rocket bombs but it is now abandoned. In a building, I found an abandoned musical instrument and I tried to play with it. Eventually I was discovered by the security guards and they drove me out, thus everything was left where it was.
