What does it mean to catch butterflies in young Mo Yan's bitter dream?

NIKO, the protagonist of the incident, is a high school graduate in Jieyang City, Guangdong Province, and also a photography enthusiast.

NIKO said in an interview that his idea of taking pictures of the earth with a hot air balloon was not formed at one time. When he was a child, he wanted to be an astronaut, eager to fly into space and overlook the earth. "Now I think I am an alien. I regard every day as the first day on earth. I want to invent. This idea has been in my mind for a long time. I think it's time to do it. "

NIKO's ideals are also recorded in his WeChat WeChat official account and Weibo, in which there are a lot of articles and pictures about photography, poetry and self-perception, such as Young Mo Yan is bitter, catching butterflies in his dreams, Leaving Me, Me, I can't hear, etc.

According to the article, on July 22, he told his friends about the idea of taking pictures of the earth with a hot air balloon and got approval. Six friends soon formed a team to practice the idea. After more than a month of preparation, on September 3, they sent a hot air balloon full of shooting equipment into space in front of Jieyang Building, a famous building in Jieyang. Five days later, with the theme of "Xiong Haizi chasing balloons", they wrote articles from the media and released their shooting results: four photos of the city taken at high altitude and four photos of the earth taken at close space, recording their planning and shooting process.

After the article was published, it attracted the attention of some institutions including Youku. After the National Day, the staff of Youku contacted NIKO, expressed their willingness to cooperate and filmed a documentary for them to commemorate their experience.
