Features: The art of China in the two decades since can be divided into two boundaries: "The 1985 New Wave" and "Post-1989 Art." If the former belongs to the catch-up of modernism, the latter represents the beginning of contemporary art. However, art criticism does not stagnate in the regions divided by time; at any time, it should propose culturally profound questions and transcend distant cultural critique. In this dialogue collection, critics and artists return to the position of thinkers, actively engaging in reflections on issues such as art and meaning, the era and environment, culture and identity, spirit and personality, with a sense of morality, responsibility, and a critical spirit of "facing the problem itself," while also experiencing the happiness of thinking.
