This large-scale public sculpture is conceived as an open book embedded within the urban plaza. A central pathway formed by human footprints traces the passage of time, beginning with the steps of a 106-year-old elder and gradually transitioning to those of a three- to four-year-old child.
The footprints extend from near to far, guiding the viewer toward the horizon and emphasizing continuity across generations. At the end of the path stands a cast bronze sculptural group: two children building a sand structure together. The boy raises his left hand and points into the distance, suggesting the direction of the future.
Rather than presenting history as a fixed monument, the work frames the city as an ongoing human process—shaped by memory, inheritance, and forward movement.
这座大型公共雕塑的设计构思为一本嵌入城市广场的摊开之书。 一条由人类脚印铺就的中央步道勾勒出时间流转的轨迹，起点是一位 106 岁老者的足迹，逐步过渡至三四岁孩童的脚印。 脚印由近及远延伸，引导观赏者望向远方天际，彰显代代相传的生命延续。 步道尽头矗立着一组铸铜雕塑：两名孩童一同搭建沙筑。男孩抬起左手指向远方，寓意未来的方向。 这件作品并未将历史塑造成静止的纪念碑，而是将城市诠释为一场持续向前的人文进程 —— 由记忆、传承与奔赴前路的前行共同铸就。
