Zhu's works

One and One Man

Written by a friend of Zhu Yingchun's, a former migration worker who likes to share his bitter-sweet past, it is a book about memories, designed like a century-old collection. The yellowed pages had "obviously" lost their original colors. Zhu created hints of a frequently handled volume - with a lock of hair, a fingerprint or a grease mark occasionally found as one peruses the pages. To entice readers into the stories, the designer also added, based on the content, images of nostalgic objects such as a folded receipt or a page of a menu. These images look so real that one is tempted to try to scratch off a strand of hair, for example, that appears on a page.
