Glorious Life

Wang Qingsong

As economic development has taken top priority in national policies, China has changed. Its people have changed even more. Everyone looks full of aspirations and satisfied with the achievements of reform and rapid development, as epitomized in the slogan, 'One change a year, one big change in three years, and one unidentifiable transformation in five years'. Capitalism has "modernized" our agricultural country.


But this modernity is somewhat funny, somewhat contradictory, and somewhat wild ? Traditional and elite culture have been negated, deserving to be discarded into garbage bins. I should pay ?tribute? to this contemporary China that helps me find source of artistic inspiration.


To eulogize this glorious life sweeter than honey, I use stage theatrics and make the camera narrate true and understandable contemporary stories.
