But this Shen Xuejiang, who was called "Little Shorty" by his fellow soldiers, achieved remarkable results through his diligence, eagerness to learn, and hard work, tilling the soil of decorative surface art with unwavering perseverance. Before joining the army, he was a student at the Industrial Design Department of the China Academy of Art. His classmates, friends, and family couldn’t understand his choice of military life and tried to dissuade him. But once he was determined on his path, the passionate military camp became his source of creativity. Barracks, watchtowers, and training grounds left his footprints. On scorching summer nights, he locked himself in a small storage room, drenched in sweat as he、、；In the biting cold of winter, he didn’t even notice the frostbite on his hands or the numbness in his feet, still painting with abandon.

After two years of hardship and refinement, he finally welcomed the season of harvest. This "Practical Decorative Small Pieces Collection," with its wide range of themes, diverse styles, and refined techniques, has finally been presented to the readers.
