Features: What is design? What is the value of design? What is the value of designers? What is the value of young design talent? These have been questions asked by many over the years. When Liu Ning, Yao Yingjia, Wang Huming, and other representatives of ten outstanding young talents in China stood on the award stage, we saw the value of design, and more importantly, the value of Chinese design talent. Architectural design, product design, multimedia design, fashion design—these disciplines that were once considered difficult to cross in traditional concepts were brought together on the same platform for dialogue. At that moment, we were convinced of the common essence of all design fields: design serves people, and human needs are the driving force behind the development of design. This book showcases the works of the outstanding young winners, reflecting the vibrant energy of contemporary young designers. Young design talent is dynamic, and young Chinese design talent is most promising. They not only bear the historical responsibility of inheriting the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization but also face the clamor and challenges brought by multiculturalism. They are living in an extraordinary era. This era is providing an infinitely broad stage for dreams for young Chinese design talent.
