This solo exhibition will present three recent works- "200 hundred years", "Farfur, the martyr" and "We will liberate Taiwan". These three works, made in Beijing, summarize my impression of residing in New York for the past three years. Although they are new works, they have been formulating for a long time. In recent years I have been contemplating on a core question of how Western Art History is composed by a series of revolutions. It becomes a study of academic ivory tower, hard for people to approach. Therefore I wish to allow content become the format and permit connection with the society directly. It should not be a stickler to formality far from daily life and let fine arts become a game of ethics.

"200 Hundred Years" is from the soundtrack of Robert Altman's 1975 movie "Nashville". In the beginning sequence of the movie, a country cowboy singer repeatedly sings the verse "for we must be doing somethin’ right, to last another 200 hundred years". The summary of the song describes how the ancestors crossed the ocean to America and devoted themselves in building the country. It also talks about how the descendants should follow the footsteps to keep up the good faith despite all the hardships. This song integrates the spirits of Patriotism and Christianity and contrasts the patriotism toward the nation with the oath to God. The repetitiously broadcasting of "for we must be doing somethin’ right, to last another 200 hundred years". makes this song impressionable to the audiences. An ordinary song from 1975, upon hearing it in the post 911 era generates a feeling of space-time confusion, especially at the time when American Imperialism is no longer dominating along with the rise of China. Nationalism is pushing to become the trend, people are seething with excitement. If the song is translated to Chinese and has the Beijing folk singer “Xiao He” to perform the cover version, it should receive ingenious outcome of different languages but same purpose.

"Farfur, the martyr" is based on the conflict between Israel and Palestine. In the children television "Tomorrow's Pioneers", broadcasts on the official Palestinian Hamas television station, Al-Aqsa TV, features a young host and her co-host Farfur, a large costumed animal resemble to Disney's famous character Mickey Mouse as they perform skits and educate children about Islamic extremism and jihadist proselytism. In the last episode, Farfur was beaten up and killed by an Israeli role. Mickey Mouse, a phenomenon that is used by American Cultural Imperialism to colonize children in the third world countries, becomes a tool in this show for Anti-Americanism. Its role becomes a polarize condition. Cultural symbol in this kind of complex power structure, in addition following its own proposition along with contradictions, the produced twist is the most authentic farce in the current world.

The background of "We will liberate Taiwan" sets in 1953 after winning the Korean war, the Chinese government and the People's Liberation Army became increasingly proactive in their propaganda addressing the China/Taiwan situation. 1954, during a federal assembly, Chairman Mao announced "Taiwan must be liberated". The music in this piece is a symphony composed under this light. The images are taken from "A glance at Taiwan", a slide show on the website of Taiwan’s Tourism Bureau. The original purpose of these images are for promoting tourism in Taiwan. I have selected images which are important scenic spots that China tourist visits.
