CLOSE-UP: SHIXIANG'S HAND

Shixiang's hand reaches out to gently touch the petals of a nearby flower, as if grounding himself in the moment.

SHIXIANG

(Determined) "We must believe that such a future is possible, Aiyue. That there are still those who can bring about the change we so desperately need."

AIYUE

(Softly) "Do you really think we can make a difference? That our voices will be heard?"

SHIXIANG

(With conviction) "If we do not speak, who will? The officials in power are too consumed by their own interests to see the suffering of the people. It is up to us, and those like us, to challenge them."
