A new exhibition in Beijing examines the experience of China’s millions of empty-nesters, and the sense of loss they feel when their children unavoidably leave home. Held by the Tomorrow Foundation and initialed by actor Huang Xiaoming at the Dachin Contemporary Art Center, the exhibition opened in Beijing on November 9th, and will run until December 9th.
According to Gao Xiaoqi, director of the Dachin Contemporary Art Center, “Empty-nesters are a common social phenomenon. But many young people haven’t realized their parents are actually empty-nesters.” She adds, “We don’t want to place a burden on the viewers when they visit the exhibition, but we do aim to make them feel how their parents felt when their children left home.”
The exhibition is more of an immersive (浸没式) experience rather than simply a gallery to view exhibits. In another area, visitors can put on earphones and listen to some impressive passages describing the parent-child relationship performed by ten stars.
Many visitors were touched by the line: only noticed I stayed at home for 15 days every year, but I didn’t realize from my parents’ eyes that I had been away from home for 20 years,” actress Kong Wei recites.
It was really touching, and it made me realize that I am really important to my parents. All I wanted to do after listening to it was to go back home and spend more time with them,” says Sina Weibo user Zhuizhumengli, a visitor to the exhibition.
“The phenomenon of empty-nesters is quite a challenge since old people’s needs are not necessarily money or other material reliefs. Although many old people have friends and hobbies, they still need their children’s love and attention,” says Huang.
