“ The moon holds special significance as a symbol of sentiment in Chinese culture. Its distant, ethereal presence invites careful observation, sparking the imagination to weave a thousand fantasies upon its lunar canvas. Perhaps there is a city nestled among its craters and valleys, a place where dreams come alive and stories unfold in the soft glow of moonlight. The moon's captivating mystique has inspired countless poems, art, and folklore, serving as a reminder of the vastness and beauty of the universe, and igniting the human spirit to explore the endless possibilities that lie beyond our earthly realm.”

“ The canvas captures a corner of the park adjacent to a bustling supermarket in the heart of Chinatown, adorned with vibrant colors to mark the festive occasion of Chinese New Year. The remnants of confetti, scattered like specks of stardust, evoke a cherished memory that lingers in my mind, as they were left behind after an exuberant lion dance performance. The joyous atmosphere of Chinatown during this celebration is encapsulated in this painting, making it one of my most treasured recollections.”

“During a period when Shanghai was gripped by lockdown measures and the shadow of the growing epidemic loomed over the city, I conceived this artwork. The pervasive sense of anxiety that pervaded the atmosphere was palpable. Yet, amidst the turmoil, the verdant hue of the Caper logo painted on the canvas seemed to exude a sense of spring-like hope. It was a reminder to keep pushing forward with resilience and optimism, despite the challenging circumstances. Just as spring always follows winter, this artwork symbolizes the unwavering spirit of hope, urging people to persevere and keep moving forward, no matter how tough the situation may seem. ”

“ Living in a southern Chinese city, I've become familiar with the customs surrounding the Chinese zodiac. It intrigued me how people deduce their age based on the animals associated with the zodiac.

In the bustling China Town, I observed characters and symbols adorned with various animal representations. The vivid paintings depicted animals like the majestic dragon, the graceful horse, the wise ox, the playful monkey, and many others. These animals were intricately woven into the fabric of Chinese culture, representing different personality traits, auspicious meanings, and even years in the lunar calendar.

I was amazed to learn that people in China determine their age based on the Chinese zodiac, also known as Sheng Xiao. Each animal in the zodiac represents a 12-year cycle, and it is believed that the animal year a person is born in influences their characteristics and destiny. It was fascinating to see how deeply rooted these animal symbols were in people's lives, from their zodiac signs displayed on red lanterns during festivals to their compatibility with others based on their animal signs.”

“I beheld a ravenous dragon, insatiably feasting on its own tail, consuming voraciously without restraint. With each bite, its head swelled larger, while its once lengthy tail dwindled into insignificance.”
