I immigrated to Montreal in 2019 and moved to Toronto in 2022. Before that, I worked in the media industry in China for nearly 20 years: radio disc jockey, TV news program reporter, fashion magazine editor, fashion website editor, and e-commerce brand director. It's my job to observe the people of this era. The intense work experience made me pay great attention to the images I shot, because the interview opportunity is usually only once. After immigrating to Canada, I had my own free time besides accompanying my sons to school. I found that the expression that gave me more freedom than writing was actually drawing. Painting is a universal language. During the three years of the pidemic, my sons and I have developed painting skills at home. My sons are in digital art, and I'm in oil and watercolor. China's busy streets are decorated with educational slogans in Chinese characters, and the material is constantly upgraded, from banners to screens to projections. In Canada, the busy streets are decorated with wall paintings, from the entire facade of high-rise buildings to the outer wall of worn flat floors. That was the first culture difference that shocked my sons when they moved to Canada happened to them at age 10: instead of serious political propaganda, they saw lovely murals. So, I crave painting a piece of mural that can be seen by the public in Canada. To shock my son again.
