Around six in the morning, a fireball shot out from the sea. In an instant, the sea seemed to be coated with a layer of golden robes. On the mountain road of hundreds of meters, the photographers held their breath, and the sound of "click, click" sounded. A piece of seaweed hangs strips of ribbons on the silk screen, red, black, and purple, like an unmodified ink painting, which is captured in one shot and exposed on a color film.
