Building/sculpture design - Drawn on Aug. 10th, 2011. My inspiration came from the figure of a boat sailing in the surging sea wave. I want to convey the spirit of adventure and the bravery of facing and conquering difficulties in people’s own voyages of lives

Building/sculpture design - Drawn on Dec. 11th, 2011. My inspiration came from Honey, my pet turtle. I added a pair of wings on his back, and transformed him into my design

Free hand painting: Urbanization——a Conflict Between the Old and the New - Traditional Chinese houses distorted and collapsed into new expressways, while skyscrapers made of armored concretes crammed into every corner of little towns, transforming them to crowded and emotionless cities.

Free hand painting (water color) - I live in the attic. Every weekend when I return home from my boarding high school, I wake up in the singing of birds outside of the little window; when I open my eyes, I saw the green of the little plant I planted in my room.

Class flag design (via Photoshop) - This is the flag I designed (via Photoshop) for my high school class ( class 0913), for official use in activities and competitions. The red ribbon forms the number 13 (our class number), also “one heart” ( “1” and the figure of “heart”). I hope to highlight the active (through the color and people running) and united (through “one heart”) spirit.
