Xiao Daniu: If I must define myself with regard to art, I tend to become a magician who is also a junkman. The human civilization has been “strong” and would continue to be. As an individual, the only thing I could do is to combine and divide between life and history in my mind again and again……All those are present would pass away in time, become unnoticed and finally shed by the dust of history.  However they would come to life again——At a certain moment, maybe on my canvas, they are turned into flying butterflies.
