All of them have been influenced by Chinese culture during their growth, but have different historical experiences, memories and identities. These artists grew up in an era of accelerated globalization, where the rapid changes in the world and the development of technology and media have made their personal experiences completely different from those of their predecessors. They create works using media and materials that are produced and popularized in the present, and in doing so, they convey different observations and insights into the unique place and time in which they live.
