Who says love is always a one-sided pursuit?

My work, “The Dual Hunt Grounds,” reflects a different truth —

That the most skilled hunters often appear as the hunted.

On the left, an ancient man on horseback — poised, powerful, bow in hand —

seemingly in command of the chase.

On the right, a modern woman astride a deer — graceful and elusive —

yet her arrow is already drawn, her aim unwavering.

She is the true hunter.

This piece was inspired by an Eastern Zhou–era textile exhibited at the Suzhou Silk Museum,

its woven motifs of bows, prey, and a mysterious halo evoking the myth of Cupid.

From this, a narrative emerged —

a love game that transcends time, where roles blur and shift.

You may believe you’re the one who chooses,

but perhaps you’ve been in her sights all along.

This badge set was designed for Zibo Qi Huibao, a city-level supplementary health insurance program in Zibo, Shandong. The five badges feature iconic historical figures from the region, displayed from left to right: Jiang Ziya, Pu Songling, Wang Yuyang, Duke Huan of Qi, and Guan Zhong. Each figure is reinterpreted with a contemporary visual style, highlighting the cultural heritage and philosophical depth of the Qi-Lu region.

“Ga Nao Mang” is the theme of this work—a phrase from the Shanghai dialect that means “joining in the fun,” but more than that, it reflects a unique way of life for many Shanghainese.

This cover illustration draws inspiration from my childhood memories. I remember how, every day, a group of men would gather around to watch two others play Chinese chess. Interestingly, not everyone was focused on the game—some were simply chatting and venting about everyday life, while others sat quietly in the corner, lost in thought and smoke. It felt like this was their one moment of the day to escape, to just be themselves, before returning to the responsibilities of work and family.

In the top left corner, the man in the purple shirt is my father, who passed away many years ago due to illness. I take great joy in painting him into my work—because in the worlds I create, he can continue to exist.
