Almost half of my artistic creations are related to my father. It can be said that my growth history is a typical history of struggle between Chinese patriarchal families. In addition to this kind of father-dauguther relationship, my father also has many models worth recording and studying: he has adopted more than a dozen orphans, and he is a well-known businessman. Writer, he has many girlfriends. He is extremely harsh and doting about his children... He doesn't agree with me to do art. In the long days when my parents divorced in 2006 and I started postgraduate study in 2018, the distance between my strong father and the rebellious me was getting farther and farther away, and even said that we had never been "close". Our mode of getting along with each other takes the worst side of the "Chinese father-son" relationship confronting each other with love, pestering each other with whole body, unable to admit defeat, can't withdraw, can't move forward or retreat.

Since 2018, I have begun to think about sorting out and displaying the conflicting and complex relationship between my father and me in the form of works of art. In the process of recalling the past and rewriting, I have gained the greatest understanding and benefit of my father's experience and personality changes so far. Understanding my father, understanding mother, understanding how human beings live and breed here, understand growth, and repay admiration, compassion, gentleness and love are my greatest gains here.

I have always believed that people's problems and emotions are the most basic in any artistic expression, even if they turn people into numbers. I hope to focus on society and self through an unintentional lyrical view, try to build a channel for interpersonal dialogue by artistic means, and explore the more complex and subtle possibilities in the relationship between people.
