Podcast Introduction: “Zheng Dang Hui Shi” (Taking It Seriously)

Vision

“Every ordinary story deserves to be taken seriously.”

In an era obsessed with elite narratives and “successology” templates, we often overlook the ordinary individuals moving silently through the currents of life. Backwall presents a brand-new video podcast, “Zheng Dang Hui Shi,” designed to strip away the filters of grand narratives. We hand the microphone to everyday people to authentically record their voices, their reflections, and the real-life situations they navigate.

“Behind every polished ‘wall of works’ stands a living, breathing human being.”

BACKWALL VOX is an in-depth interview series under the art media brand BACKWALL. We are shifting the focus from prestigious titles and finished masterpieces to the silent yet resilient individuals navigating the currents of our time.

From creators like Yin Jiulong, who constantly navigate the cycles of “escape and return,” to the ordinary souls making a living in the city’s backstreets, we strive to capture the granular details of life so often overlooked by mainstream narratives.

“Reading people is greater than reading works”—here, we document nothing but the truth.
