Its focus from the personal emotion becomes the consideration towards social communities. Everyone has ideal wings and they play a different role dancing in the dark night. This is not only the romantic imagination but also the yearning for ideal unreached in the reality. There is tranquilly and grief in the character’s eyes, meanwhile, scenery is given a mysterious and profound beauty under his painting. Works become a way to store ideality, let each visitor move in the familiar shadow and refract the atmosphere in the deep heart of the contemporary young people. This is also a disappointment for unrecovering youth.
