“Quiet Moments in Motion” is an illustrated book full of a wonderful texture. Countless young people share and comment on its brilliant still images or GIFs daily. The hashtag #Life Montage# has garnered over 13.45 million topic reads on global social media platforms (including but not limited to Sina Weibo, Instagram), focusing on calming down, seeing the beauty in ordinary life, healing oneself, and starting anew.

The author of “Quiet Moments in Motion,” Tian Ran, is a young woman who has been devoted to painting since the age of three. Those days that seem ordinary to most people: sunbathing under the three o’clock afternoon sun, reading alone on a rainy day, looking up to encounter the first snow... The author takes these individual static moments and, through artistic processing with unique imagination and insight, transforms them into readable sequential artwork full of narrative quality, reminiscent of a montage in a life movie (creating unique meaning through the splicing of life fragments). Readers who take the time to read it quietly will discover an unprecedented beauty of life's tranquility and detail within the visual stories.
