    He is a strict men ,attention to hygiene,like thriller and Mahjong.He also likes watching football games.His favorite team which is Evergrande and Shanghai Greenland. He likes Beijing,some of the reason for the Huguo Temple snacks. Lord Rabbit is his favorite toy.

    I put my heart and soul into the production of these artist’s books, processing the images carefully, scanning the books with care, printing them with paper which is similar to the original works and making sure the quality of the printing. All these procedures are rather common ways for the production.

    The uncommon thing during the production is the interference in work. For example, the sketch paper may be stuck in the duplicator; the completely unrelated proofs and drawing may be put together; an unclear work may be printed on the kraftpaper; or probably a working contract just appears before your eyes suddenly. These are the coincidences I am looking forward to and which I believe are the mystery-like unconventional artistries in the artists’ book.
