Taking on neon sign boards glowing at night, Neon News videos presents three fictional stories about successful people who have fallen out of the public eye. In metropoles where Chinese language is used—such as Shanghai, Hong Kong or Taipei—, the presence at night of glowing neon Chinese characters is a distinctive view. The work draws on the impressive number of characters and the variety of fonts used, revealing the way their forms appear. The experience of reading those signs differs from that of reading on a screen, cellphone or laptop which are today’s windows: nowadays, people are surrounded by screens and mainly connect with the world through them. Thus, if the city is further treated as a screen, each neon may then be considered a single word. The media environment of Chinese people is complex, one dominated by both official and folk discourse systems. Neon News videos leads us to imagine that the words we see when wandering around the city at night can be combined into a story, while at the same time becoming a finding and reading process. Here are the stories:

1. A real estate tycoon has been caught having an affair with his female assistant. He agrees to divorce from his former wife, dividing his many possessions, including a huge art collection.

2. A young poet, who once made a living on shrimp stalls, has been working diligently for 30 years and his catering chain brand has been recently listed. He donated nearly 10,000 books to his Alma mater, including his collection of entrepreneurial diaries.

3. A famous TV actor married a 16-year-old beauty model. Retreated into the mountains, he turned into an authentic farmer and raised chickens for a living, and he recently appeared in a television program to talk about his new life.
