Background Story:

The origin of the creation of 'Unremarkable Zhou' was at the beginning of June in 2022. At that time, I had been depressed at home for several months, and I had completely lost my enthusiasm for photography. So I want to do some physical labor, away from my noisy heart. By chance, I went to a vegan restaurant to be a dishwasher.

There was an auntie who taught me to wash dishes there. Washing dishes was tiring, but it was a practical matter, because washing one bowl was one bowl, which was the result of hard work visible to see. In that process, I didn't need to think about 'who am I' at all. Walking down the hill with a huge sense of satisfaction after washing the dishes and leaving get off work every day. My daily life gradually returned to normal.
 
During that time, it was like a kind of practice for me. I found healing in washing dishes. Sometimes I took my book to the back kitchen, and when I didn’t have dishes to wash, I sat by the sink and read; or looked through the small window to see the working status of my colleague in the kitchen. I found that what I had lost was the patience for the things I loved and the determination to stick.
 
I was deeply moved by this experience, and asked myself if I could do one thing well without distraction. At that time, I had a vague idea, but I never acted on it: I wanted to make an album, expressing the mental journey of this year through the medium of music. Naturally, I started thinking about this project bit by bit while doing the dishes. It was not an exaggeration to say that all the ideas about this project were 'washed' out.

'If I could be born again, I want to be a huge automatic dishwasher because everyone needs one and I don't have to think so hard about who I am."
 
So five or six months have passed. On October 30 in 2022, my first solo album 'Unremarkable Zhou' was launched on major music platforms; The music film had its first screening at Republic of Sound, Guangzhou.

The word 'unremarkable' first appeared, and it was a joke during a conversation with a friend. He thought my online name was 'Unremarkable Zhou' (my online name is '刘海平平的小周'). Later, I chose the word 'Unremarkable' very naturally, because I think that in the general environment, everyone is a community of destiny, and I am just a very small member of this community.

So, I, who is unremarkable, carrying my unremarkable emotions, and around my unremarkable life, and introduce you the 'Unremarkable Zhou'.
