Further Details
Now I learned to say goodbye to things. My home is too cluttered so I decided to share some part of my collection with you. It is nothing exuberant, yet they are memories of various moments in my life: my collaboration with Walasse Ting, a gift from the film director Hu Jinquan, calligraphic couplet by Yu Dafu, and a few Feng Kangkou works I purchased very early on. I do hope you like them?
