As the first installment of the Fusion Time series , this documentary unveils Sandun Town–where 19th-century granaries transform into avant-garde art hubs, and alleyway barbershops neighbor specialty coffee roasters. Through Russian filmmaker Yulia’s lens, we witness Hanghou’s living heritage: silver-gelatin photo studios preserving memories since 1960, ancestral rice cake artisans blending tradition with youth entrepreneurship, and industrial ruins reborn as stages for AI-powered theater. More than a time capsule, Sandun becomes a global metaphor – proving cultural vitality thrives not in preservation alone, but where tradition breathes alongside innovation, crafting what locals call “the poetry of harmonious collision.”
