Just the thought the movement of sliding ,brings me back to my #childhood on the slide.
Back then, gravity would pull me downward in the most certain, steady way, and it felt so relaxing.
As we grow up, we’re always climbing upward.
The other day, I saw a little kid at a neighborhood playground at noon.
With his parents nearby, he slid down with his eyes closed, arms wide open, fully enjoying the freedom and joy.
Watching him, I could feel him imagining where he was flying.
Shooting #olympic #snowboard champion Su Yiming under the spring sun,
this photo is for you: no matter how old you are or how high you glide,
may that childlike feeling always stay with you.🌱

When in lychee season, you find the coziest spot and honor the ancient wisdom: “不食不时” — never eat out of season. 🍃 Shot this as a reminder to savor nature’s rhythms, one juicy bite at a time.
This season’s natural sweets: lychee, strawberry, sugarcane, and water chestnut — all taste like childhood.
📸: Capturing the sweetness of now!

What is True Luxury? ✨
Human memories are the only true luxuries. From Beijing to Milan, my “Memory Brick” art series is about freezing these fleeting, warm moments of memory. 🧊
I’m honored to be part of the “Cultural Olympiad” for Milano Cortina 2026, exhibiting at Via Montenapoleone. A magical moment happened when two patrolling horses stopped and stared at my work—it felt like even nature could read the soul of art. 🐎
In a world of fleeting trends, the real luxury is the warmth we share—like the hug from a grandmother in Mantova or the taste of home. Whether it’s the ice bricks at the Winter Olympics or the memories we hold, these are the treasures that truly ground us. 🌏
