Features: In my youth, I loved literature and was forced into a breakup. This relationship transformed into a love for art, and I eventually married it. My life and everything belong to the world of art. From then on, I lived in an aesthetic world, every day and every moment, my eyes never idle, recognizing beauty and ugliness everywhere. Like a bee collecting nectar, I collected beauty. In the world's vast garden of flowers, exotic blooms catch the eye. These unique flowers must have their own special soil and roots. Following the vines, you can eventually trace them back to their homeland and national elements. However, if there is a fundamental lack of genuine love for art, blindly promoting national characteristics, imposing them on others, and hiding inferiority with pride, it can only create a fake flower market. The transmission of emotion is the essence of art. A single word—love—is enough. The loss of art is synchronized with the loss of emotion, and I do not believe that emotions will ultimately vanish. Mr. Lu Xun once said that because he was attacked from all sides, he had to stand sideways, which was particularly exhausting. I have always felt that I have stood sideways between China and the West, between the past and the present, but I have managed to stand sideways for fifty years, existing for fifty years.
