The documentary is about a tranquil island, Ap Chau, lying from the bustling city and still preserves its serenity, echoing the memories left by its islanders. Though the island is now deserted, traces of past life linger in the old school, church, and surroundings, whispering stories of the island's history like echoes. Richard, a resident who returned after decades of migration, connects the past and present through his oral stories and life. This documentary portrays the interwoven tales of Ap Chau's past and present, guided by Richard, the island's only long-term resident.

This is a group project on conceptual design, aiming to address the difficulty of recycling marine waste and the massive heat dissipation demand of AI training clusters. It builds a sustainable model integrating environmental, energy and social values, which is derived from the appearance of the entire marine waste recycling station reflected in the water, resembling an infinity symbol. The team hopes that this station will become a hub for the conversion and utilisation of marine waste in the future. Chen Gongyue, Chen Tingyi, and Li Zaidan are also the Silver Winner of the 2026 MUSE Creative Awards.
