Decolonising our minds. Uncovering traces of German colonialism in China in today’s Berlin. An inquiry of different locations on Kiautschou street and Pekinger Platz. A film by Kollektiv Raumstation.

I arrived in Berlin in Winter 2016. It was a rainy and cold Sunday, barely had people walking on the street. Comparing to the metropolis Wuhan, my hometown, the first impression of Berlin as a big city was disappointing— until I took a random walk and met the Spree. A river makes a city alive and brings culture — so is Yangtze river to Wuhan and Spree to Berlin. In this visual walk project, I am walking from Rummelsburger See to Friedrichstadt-Palast, showing the Berlin I know from East to Mitte, and telling the story about river and me.
