Jackie Yu Jie, a Chinese filmmaker currently residing in Los Angeles, USA, made this video. Jackie studied in the Master’s Program in Film and Video at the California Institute of the Arts (LA). She first encountered Candy’s story in Art World, a Shanghai-based Chinese magazine. Moved by Candy’s art, Jackie flew to Boston in December 2003 to collect materials for a documentary she wanted to make. The video is made up of her interview of Jing Wang, Candy’s mother. She registered her thoughts on Candy as follows:

In the beginning.
She was a name on a piece of paper
She was a young lady I wish I would have had the chance to give her a hug.
She was Candy Wei

Unavoidably, along the way, we have heard or even seen many deaths. Mournful? Joyful? Anguished? Understandable? People always say, “Life is like a journey”.
How was Candy’s journey?

Although Candy chose to leave us for a different realm of existence, she still allows us to learn her, through her artworks, our memories and the documentary of sound and image. Candy’s talent, emotions, spirit are vividly reflected in different media.
The journey with Candy sails on.

初见容容，是王琦笔下的一个名字，是照片里笑得无邪的女生。惊叹这样一个精灵般的人物怎会甘心用这样的方式逝去。
再读容容，才明白这个纤细精致的老灵魂正是因为不甘心，才会选择这样的方式逝去。

然而，逝去并不是失去
容容的艺术作品，让我们相识在这个季节，相遇在不同空间。 
许多的不舍得，许多的心疼，许多的感动。
容容让还在这条路上走得跌跌撞撞的我懂了许多。
