JUST A FEW We grew up in a propaganda environment. Basically, we did not know about anything outside of China. Actually, we were born red and we grew up red. We did not know any other colors. This means that at 24 years old, I did not know anything about other colors. Not even pink! It was very difficult for artists because we are very sensitive about visuals. We were visually trained in a particular context. We did not know more than that. But, we knew something different was there. After the tragedy of 1989, I could not handle the situation. I felt hopeless. So, I left the country as many other artists did. I went first to Italy, then to Paris, then to London.
