I remember Li Rui's graduation series that was about an archaeological scene. He paid attention to geology, revealing his earnest exploration for truth and suspicion regarding knowledge. This time, he paints ruins of buildings, an examination of today's life as well as an imagination about the future. Faced with this archaeological discovery, how will someone in the future feel? What comments will they make? -Zhao Li (Professor of CAFA)
