Reunion is an interesting animation that captures that peculiar essence of Chinese New Year's Eve in 2000. The setting is a bustling railway station in Qingxian County, filled with travelers and anticipation. It's not just about the journey home; it's about the emotional weight of returning to family and tradition. The pacing feels reflective, almost meditative at times, allowing the viewer to soak in the atmosphere. The practical effects, though simple, lend a certain authenticity to the visuals.

There's a distinct charm in how it portrays waiting as both a physical and emotional state, making it a quiet but resonant piece.
