Hi everyone, tonight is our Chinese New Year's Eve. I would like to take this post to wish you all and your families a happy Chinese New Year, good health, peace and best luck in the Year of the 龙(Chinese Dragon). All the best!🥳🐉🐲💪🥰😍

欧洲当代艺术馆近期出版了一本名为《艺术收藏家之选——第三卷中国版》的画册,很开心我有两幅画作被收录在其中,更让我惊喜的是我的《虎妹粤剧团》被选印在了扉页作为画册重点推荐的作品。要感谢当代艺术馆让我的作品有机会传播到世界更广的范围,如透过我的画能让世界上更多的人认识中国传统粤剧文化之美,我会深感荣幸。当“中国广州” 四字醒目地印刷在一本欧洲画册上,作为一名中国广州市的市民,我感觉无比自豪!

Contemporary Art Station recently published an Art Book titled "The Art Collector's Choice-Volume 3 China Edition". I am very happy that two of my works have been featured in it, and what makes me more surprised is that my illustration "Cantonese Opera Troupe of The Tiger Sisters" was selected as the title page as a key recommended work of the Art Book.

I would like to thank Contemporary Art Station sincerely for giving me the opportunity to show my art to a wider range of the world. I would be honored if my work can inspire more people around the world to learn about the beauty of Traditional Cantonese opera culture in China.

Thank you Contemporary Art Station, it's my great honor to be part of this project!

In the past six years, I have drawn four Chinese New Year pictures, which are in the year of the Monkey 2016, the Year of the Dog 2018, the year of the Ox 2021 and the Year of the Tiger 2022. By putting these four paintings side by side, I can clearly see my progress in composition, use of colour and detail richness. As an artist, I'm very happy and proud of that.

The Year of The Tiger has officially begun, and I will continue to challenge new heights of artistic creation through my persistent efforts!

Thank you for your support, wish you a fantastic Year of The Tiger!

P.S. Me myself, my lovely partner and our two super cute kitten sisters have always been the inspiration for the creation of my Chinese New Year Pictures.

Happy Year of the Tiger! Today is the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, I want to bring my newest illustration work "Cantonese Opera Troupe of The Tiger Sisters" to wish everyone a fantastic Year of the Tiger, may health and strength always be with you!

大年初一,我以这幅刚刚热辣出炉、”精工打造“的小蒙虎年年画《虎妹粤剧团》来给大家拜大年,祝福大伙儿虎年大吉,虎虎生威,如虎添翼!

Contemporary Art Curator Magazine interviewed me recently. The above is an excerpt from the interview article.

I cherish and love every opportunity to participate in a written interview. Because I really enjoy the way of opening my heart and fully expressing my inner thoughts in clear and detailed text. Today's social media are platforms for short contents and quick information. Many people seem to have lost the ability to read and understand. Therefore, I am especially grateful to Contemporary Art Curator Magazine for providing such a valuable opportunity and platform to allow artists to express their emotions and speak freely.

Art making is a thorny and lonely path. Many art creators, including myself, are eager to communicate, look forward to showing the world the deep meaning behind our works, and hope that our works can resonate with the audience. I know that few people are willing to take the time to read the full article of my interview, well, maybe not even many people will finish reading this short paragraph. But I still hope that among the 7.9 billion people in the world, there will be a few interesting souls who want to understand my journey as an artist in artistic creation.

Thank you for your time. For the full text of the interview, please visit:

“Breeds of Self” Chapter Two --- 巢(The Lair)
Wish this work and the little story would resonate with you, and I hope you will find comfort in viewing them. Thanks for reading, wish you the best, see you next time.😉

I am very excited to receive two beautiful copies of the "Contemporary Art of Excellence - Volume IV" from the Global Art Agency. Thank you so much GAA for this amazing publication, I'm very proud to be part of this project.

"Contemporary Art of Excellence - Volume IV" contains artworks from many talented contemporary artists, and I'm honored to have the opportunity to be among them.

September is the beginning of a new school year, and just like the students, this September is going to be a whole new chapter for my art creation as well. I'm working on the biggest and most complex art project of my career so far, and I have to say I'm facing a lot of challenges within myself. Receiving this book gives me great courage and motivation to innovate in my artistic creation. Once again, thank you GAA!

Enjoy~

I'm very proud to be Interviewed by the Contemporary Art Station for their upcoming Art Collector’s Choice book Volume 3. Thank you so much Contemporary Art Station for this wonderful opportunity, the interview page looks great, and I had so much fun for answering all those interesting questions 😁

This is my newest illustration work 《广州﹒家园﹒加油》("Guangzhou. Home. Stay strong." )

Recently, my home, Guangzhou, has encountered a new Covid wave carried by the Delta Variant. In just one month time, we have already contained the virus. As I’m posting here, there have been zero new indigenous Covid cases in Guangzhou for 12 consecutive days. Achieving this great result in such a short time on preventing and controlling the virus, the strong leadership of the city is a must, and it is also inseparable from the active, patient, and methodical cooperation of all the residents of Guangzhou. Every single one of us in Guangzhou loves our home.

Guangzhou is a heroic city, and our city flower is the hero flower, the Kapok flower. I am extremely proud of my birth and growth in this great city. As a Guangzhou local artist, I feel obligated to use my skills to record our own story about the marvelous fight against the virus in our city. This is the reason that I created this new artwork.

I want to use this work to wish that the new Covid wave in Guangzhou will be over soon, and the bustle of Guangzhou city life which we all miss a lot will come back shortly. Guangzhou, my home, stay strong! I love you!

I also like to use this illustration as a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and wish our motherland prosperity forever under the leadership of CPC. China, Stay Strong! 🇨🇳

Thank you angels! ❤️🙏

Recently a certain number of Delta variant Covid cases have occurred in Guangzhou, our city right now is carrying out large-scale nucleic acid testing. Medical workers are racing against the clock to conduct nucleic acid tests for the public. Guangzhou is entering the thunderstorm season, these days are very hot (above 35℃) and humid. I Can't imagine how hard it must be for the medical workers in protective gowns, the community workers, volunteers and police officers who have been working all day in such weather.

You are our guardian angels and our heroes!

Thank you so much for your selfless devotion to protecting the lives of our citizens, please also take good care of yourselves.

Guangzhou, stay strong!💪
听日一定会好噶!❤️

This is "YUM!", my newest illustration work.

I created it to express my strong condemnation and opposition to the Japanese government's irresponsible decision on discharging more than 1.25 million tonnes of contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea.

The Japanese government's reckless decision is trifling with the safety of all human lives, and it's literally going to drop a nuclear bomb to our global marine ecosystem.

This is a very serious and urgent environmental crisis. For the sake of our own future and the future of all other species who are sharing this blue planet with us, people around the world must join hands to stop Japan from creating a manmade environmental catastrophe.

Hopefully this work can raise more people's environmental awareness on this matter. Thank you for viewing.

I highly recommend you to watch CGTN's Xinjiang anti-terrorism documentary series. This documentary series profoundly exposes the harm of religious extremist ideology, as well as the internal and external challenges Xinjiang anti-terrorism is facing.

It is the consensus of every country in the world to protect people's lives, resolutely fight against terrorism and ensure that terrorism has no place in the world.

China government has made great efforts to safeguard regional stability, prosperity and development of Xinjiang and the safety of its people. The establishment of vocational training and education centers is one of the important measures. By equipping the people of Xinjiang with the knowledge and skills to make a living, it protects them from extremist ideology, improves their living standards and greatly increases their happiness. In the past four years, there has not been a single terrorist attack in Xinjiang, and the people in Xinjiang live a stable, safe and happy life. This is the direct proof that the anti-terrorism work in Xinjiang is successful and on the right track.

The West is well aware of this, yet it repeatedly fabricates lies about the so-called "human rights issue" in Xinjiang, and even defames the vocational education and training centers as "concentration camps" and our poverty alleviation programs as "forced labor." It publishes all kinds of disgusting, shameful and false news. This is a grave insult to the people of Xinjiang, to those who give their hearts and lives working on the frontline of counter-terrorism, and to the 1.4 billion Chinese people. We will never allow these shameless acts to defile our divine and beautiful Xinjiang, our great motherland and the pure and kind-hearted Chinese people of all nationalities.

A word of advice to the west, stop your bullshit lies about our Xinjiang, if you really care about human rights, take a look in the mirror at the minorities in your own countries and those who "can't breathe".

我非常推荐大家去观看CGTN出品的新疆反恐纪录片四部曲。因为这套影片深刻地揭露了宗教极端主义思想的危害,以及中国新疆反恐所面临的内部和外部挑战。

保护人民的生命安全,坚决打击恐怖主义,力求恐怖主义在这个世界上没有立足之地,这是世界上每一个国家的共识。

中国政府为了维护新疆的地区稳定,繁荣发展,新疆人民的生命安全,付出了极大的努力。设立教培中心,就是其中一项重要的举措。以教育的形式赋予新疆人民谋生的知识和技术,保护他们不受极端思想的侵害,改善他们的生活水平,大大提升了新疆人民的生活幸福感。过去四年,新疆没有发生一起恐怖袭击,人民生活稳定,安全,幸福,这在很大程度上证明了中国新疆反恐工作的成功和方向的正确。

西方很清楚这点,却一而再,再而三地编造所谓的新疆“人权问题”谎言,甚至污蔑教培中心为“集中营”、我们的扶贫项目为“强迫劳动”,造谣刊登出各种不堪入目无耻的虚假新闻。这,是对新疆人民的极大侮辱,对坚守在反恐第一线工作者的极大侮辱,是对14亿中国人民的极大侮辱。我们决不允许这些无耻的行为玷污我们圣洁、美丽的新疆,玷污我们伟大的祖国母亲和纯洁、善良的各族人民。

敬告西方一句,停止你们狗屁不通的谎言,如果你们真的那么在乎人权,先照照镜子看看你们自己国家的少数族裔,还有那些“不能呼吸”的人们吧。

Welcome to visit it and give me supports by liking and sharing, thanks a lot guys, enjoy! 😘

Happy Year of the Ox everyone!🐂

Finally, I finished this work right before China Lunar New Year's Eve. Woohoo!🎉

I want to create a very special and festive piece to celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Ox, so I've spent quite a long time on this creation and added in quite an insane amount of details. Every element on this image is able to stand alone as an independent art piece. For example, the scroll in the center itself is a detailed work of Chinese traditional painting. Honestly, I'm quite happy with the outcome.😁

I want to use this work to wish you guys a wonderful Year of the Ox, may health, happiness and prosperity be with you always!

Hope you enjoy this New Year's Picture, see you in the Year of the Ox! 🏮❤️

终于在年廿九完成了这幅牛年年画,开心!😁 这是一幅画中有画、非常喜庆的作品,而且为了使画中的每一个元素都可以独立成章,做到细节能够无限放大,我在这幅年画的创作上花费了蛮长的时间。举个例子吧,画面正中央的卷轴挂图,它本身就是一幅独立而精细的中国国画作品。

希望大家喜欢这幅作品,我也以此新作给大伙儿拜个年,祝愿您牛年大吉,牛运亨通,牛力十足!我们牛年见!❤️

2020年是荆棘满布的一年,同时也是浴火重生、奇思异想无限迸发的一年。所谓“如常并不平常”,在这一年里,要衷心地感激一直守护着我们的祖国和各行各业辛勤的人们,正因为他们的无私付出,我们绝大部分中国人才能在疫情仍然肆虐全球的艰难时期“如常生活”。也正是2020年这如此不平凡的一年,让我更加读懂了我们的国家,读懂了世界。由此我创作了一系列的作品,并将它们发布在全球不同的平台上,以期让读者们能透过一个中国艺术人的视角去理解中国,增进国际间的沟通和互助。虽然我的影响力很有限,但我也尽了我的所能,希望能为祖国出一份力!

作为今年发布的最后一篇日志,就让它作为2020年这一不平凡之年的总结以及对2021年的一份期许吧。让我们携手,把2021年浇灌成遍布希望和喜悦的一年吧。

祝大家新年快乐,愿您和家人身体健康,平安幸福!❤️
