The idea to use backpacks came from my visit to Sichuan after the earthquake in May
2008. During the earthquake many schools collapsed. Thousands of young students lost
their lives, and you could see bags and study material everywhere. Then you realize
individual life, media, and the lives of the students are serving very different purposes.
The lives of the students disappeared within the state propaganda, and very soon
everybody will forget everything.
