The reform and opening up of the 1980s was a time of dramatic social and cultural change in China. The end of the Cultural Revolution and the introduction of modern culture from Europe and the U.S. intertwined the shadows of the Cultural Revolution with the free growth of culture, and the 1990s saw the introduction of McDonald's and Coca-Cola, the rise of consumerism and popular culture, the tidal wave of fashionable information coming into China, and the introduction of video games, U.S. and Japanese animation, which have changed the lives of a generation, and in particular, have shaped the basic values of the entire post-1980s generation.

Also known as the "one-child" generation, the 1980s and 1990s were a time of growth for them. Loneliness, detachment, and a sense of distance from others have become the recognizable characteristics of this generation's personality. Due to the lack of playmates, they prefer to immerse themselves in "self-play" with toys in a corner, and tend to "self-communicate" or "keep quiet" when expressing their emotions. "

 Li Jing is an artist born in the 80's. When looking at Li Jing's works, the character traits of an "only child" and the imprint of the times are obvious. For example, he treats most of his paintings as a solitary person, and focuses on the depiction of this person in front of his case, as well as the anthropomorphization of the toys scattered around and their indifference to each other. The figures tend to be portrayed in an ambiguous mix of classical realism and cartoonism, and the mood of the figures focuses on the state between certainty and uncertainty, especially the "uneasiness" that is emphasized consciously or unconsciously in the images. Each of Li Jing's images is characterized by a sense of "posing". The patterned scenes are like a play on a fixed stage. Most of the characters have round faces, red cheeks, and red noses; they look like clowns' squirming and drunken tenderness; they look like crying frames and cold wrappings; and they are in a trance-like state of thought.

 Li Jing's works precisely convey his relationship with his living environment, sometimes tense, sometimes comfortable, sometimes skeptical, sometimes agreeable, sometimes erratic, sometimes firm, "uncertainty" and "multiple readability" may be the common value tendency of this generation.
