Art is no longer limited to the expression of individual emotions, but has become a bond connecting the individual and the collective - in which the individual's small demands and the collective's grand history are intertwined into a resonant voice. Participating artists (arranged in alphabetical order of surnames A-Z) Bai Ze - Cao Jian - Taylor Chyn - Chen Naihui - Gao Xiaoya - Charles Chao Wang - Zhu Hui - Susu Jing - Jin Xiaoyan - Jin Xin YOYO - Lu Xueying - Liu Jianbin - Shijia Song - Turaga - Wang Guangzheng - Wang Qiuxin - Yiru Wang - Wang Senlin - Wan Qian - Yang Changcheng - Yang Yumeng - Yang Yuhan - Yu Qian
