A contrasting effect is presented through the combination of figurative and realistic sculptural language and ready-made books.
The ignorant little baby slept peacefully, but he didn't know that his future was clearly arranged.
The author wants to present it through a combination of "babies with simple colors" and "ready-made books with colorful colors". The baby and the "huge book" create a visual contrast effect from color and volume.
The floor of the exhibition hall is covered with a large number of colorful books.
Select books that the author's generation will come into contact with in their life experiences from childhood to adulthood, including textbooks, numerous exercises and teaching materials for various hobby classes. The relatively monotonous baby sculpture is placed in the center of the book group.
SCULPTURE
Use figurative and realistic techniques to make large-sized baby clay sculptures.
The baby chooses an image in his sleep, which is turned into flesh-colored silicone and painted with light colors. A mechanical device is installed inside to simulate heartbeat and breathing; a mechanical device is installed on the arm to simulate twitching.

The author chooses books that evoke the collective memory of a generation in China in the early 1990s.
(The generation of children who grew up in the early 1990s ran through the beginning and end of China's economic take-off era, and was very special.) Unlike other eras, parents who grew up in economic growth had money in their hands and tried their best to enroll their children in various hobby classes. In addition to school since childhood, the weekends are full (the author's 6-year abacus, math Olympiad, composition, English, piano, painting, martial arts)
