　　What's your comprehension about''Emphemerus vis-a-vis Stabilitas''?
　　The curator has interpreted very profound already,and I don't have much to say.In fact l didn't know whether my work meets the theme.
　　Can you talk about the last life and the present life of your exhibition work?
　　Four pieces of works the curator choose at last are interesting in a back view.They are the first one I did after college graduation and the latest work of mine.It seems this odd—twenty—years experience after I graduate are contained among them.
　　In ''Dreamland No.1'' I painted a mountain top of a mountainous area in Anhui Province.I stayed at the roof of the local people's house and painted for one whole day.I graduated from college and went to work at Zhejiang Forest University in 1999.The university locates at a little town called Lin'an near Hangzhou.The scene was fantastically beautiful,one side linked to Hangzhou and the other to remainder of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui.1 didn't have a clue of my future at that time.I went Lin'an just for leaving;I never know where exactly I will go.I was just aware in my heart that living is not here.At Lin'an,I often when to Anhui for mountain site seeing.Sometimes when I saw such a gorgeous mountain,I sighed for all those mountains grow up in billions of years,only few so gorgeous among those mountains,like the odd chane to find pure souls like precious stone among all people in the world.When I looked at the sketch of this painting,I can't help to paint it into a big frame.I moved three times at Lin'an,and during the move I always carried it and kept painting.It's my first try on big landscape on paper,and it was difficult.Afterwards I went to Hangzhou for post-graduate education and I brought it there.The river south was humid.The right part of the painting was dampened and water mark appeared on the image.A senior said the water mark is marvelous,it's like a sign from heaven and I didn't want to change it.At the time I was transferred to creation of ''Body'' series.
　　''Dreamland No.2'':I was at Beijing in 2007.I graduated from master degree education,not enough time for deep contemplation;I went to Beijing with trunks of books.I put down everything else and concentrated on painting which became a huge pressure for me.Reading book,watching DVDs and talking with friends,all those behaviors seems homework for painting.I painted mountain and wood of Maijiawu at Hangzhou readily.Hangzhou was like a dream,temporarily moved out of the stage of my life with occasional missing.
　　''Dreamland No.3'':late 2007,I drove to Hangzhou and packed the remainder of my books and paintings and sent them to Beijing.I stayed a few days at my hometown Rui'an.I was too idle and painted mountain outside my father's window.My father moved to new home,it's a high-rise building with a small mountain outside the window. In fact the mountain shape is long without much fine scenery. I spent my childhood climbing those mountains,so much sensation when I watch them.The paper I brought with me are only enough for three one third parts.I didn't care too much at the time.When I arrived Beijing,I put them into a whole paper,a little white gap were left at the separating of each part.I felt it must be so:fragmented but complete memory.
　　''Desire to Write''(2011),I stopped painting on paper since 2008 and concentrated on oil experiments.Several years later, I wanted to paint on paper again. It seems as if paper was more suitable for random exploration when I wanted a leap forward every time.Life has made me more realized about the ambiguity of parole, world of book knowledge and dai1y experience and extremely individual emotions are connectable.I tried to put irrelevant figures into one frame:some depending and abusing bodies of man and woman; figure of Satre and Beauvoir;Smiling Beauvoir holding a pen and righting; Affection of parents on birthdays;Happy face when I was young; Figures of young girls shedding tears;High caps of the Cultural Revolution period;and someone learning piano ''Mary Has a Little Limb''…Erotic, power brings violence;concealing and pressing of the right of speech had to truth;desire of personal expression and depression; Heavy burden of living and a trace of happiness accidentally and soft inner mind of an instance…without knowing where I will be carried to…
　　In art creation,stripping the mist of daily experience generally leads to generation of new meanings.Please talk about how the meaning was generated based on your work.
　　It seems that what I could do was merely revealing veils that covered the truth.Sometimes truth became less important.Whether there's a truth exist is luring as a riddle.However in such progress the unknown sense of strangeness was presented continually and so excitable.
　　Please excavate the expression appeal of your work that was covered in various art forms.
　　I don't know how to answer this question.Most of the time I was exploring a new possibility to the image,and in particular moments there will be some sensation desperate to find an outlet.Painting is the most effective channel.When you have hold of the right point,good work will be presented.I was waiting for miracle,not talking about expression appeal insignificantly.
