Fair Drawing Supervision Window
The viewer appreciation drawing is recorded before it is drawn.
Big-data-style entry logs are used to preserve evidence, remove duplicates, fix the eligible list hash, record a public random source, and make the selection reproducible. 大数据式报名记录用于留证、去重、固定有效名单哈希、记录公开随机源，并让抽选过程可以复核。
These records do not add weight to any entry. Purchase, donation, country, relationship, influence, or volunteer promotion cannot increase the chance of selection. 这些记录不为任何报名加权。购买、捐赠、国家、关系、影响力或志愿者推广贡献，都不能提高被选中机会。

Child Nutrition Improvement Plan
Every visitor is invited to become an ambassador.
This invitation begins with the foundation of the exhibition: Hou Yimin spent ten years, entirely self-funded and without funding support, to complete a photographic dream. After viewing, visitors may voluntarily register as Child Nutrition Improvement Ambassadors or project members. 这个邀请从展览的基础开始：侯一民用十年时间完全自费、没有任何资助，完成了一个摄影梦想。观众看完以后，可以自愿登记为儿童营养改善计划大使或项目会员。
Viewing creates an invitation, not automatic legal enrollment. A visitor becomes an ambassador/member only after explicit email registration and consent. 观看展览会产生受邀资格，但不是未经同意自动成为法律会员。只有本人明确邮件登记并同意以后，才成为大使/会员。

Curatorial Order
The exhibition begins with the farmers.
This page now begins with the subject itself: hardship, land, children, debt, hunger, school, and the dignity of people who are usually not allowed to speak in history.
On The Same Planet no longer stands in front of the farmer's testimony. It comes after the exhibition, as a quiet epilogue: not a decoration for suffering, but a way to leave the visitor with a shared sky.
Free entry
Every visitor may enter the farmer's exhibition first.
The after-viewing epilogue and drawing appear only after the visitor has had a chance to enter the exhibition.
How to View
Start with the testimony. Stay with the work.
No payment screen blocks the visitor.
The guided version carries the viewer through the photographs and text.
Only after viewing does the visitor meet On The Same Planet, the drawing, and optional support.
After the Exhibition
Despite the hardship, we share the same sky.
After the farmer's testimony, this work becomes an ending rather than a cover. It gives the visitor a way out of helplessness without softening the truth they have just seen.
The viewer appreciation drawing and the On The Same Planet story now belong here, at the end.
