Features: Mr. Liu Shiming graduated from the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1951. As early as his student days, his work "Measuring Land" became one of the sculptures sent abroad for exhibition in the new China and was collected by the National Museum of the Czech Republic. In 1958, the "Dismantling Mountains to Channel Water," built in front of the Peace Arch in Zhongshan Park, left a deep impression on people with its grand scale and profound meaning. This work received high praise from art critics at the time and later, and it is listed in history as a representative of that era, with the author being Liu Shiming. However, he never boasts about these achievements. For decades, he has worked silently, observing the world with his own eyes and experiencing it with his own heart. He is a person who dares to pursue his dreams. In art, he does not focus on material gains but only on his own feelings. He is innocent and romantic, with a deep understanding of life's philosophy. His art is the sublimation of a noble spirit, the crystallization of his intellect, and his entire life.
