in the contemporary human condition art must undertake an important mission, that is, the reconstruction of truth. If truth is lost today in the attitude of scientism, in the values of instrumental rationality and relativism, where is the way out for mankind? In which field will he first rebuild his spiritual home? My take: In art. We must admit the fundamental point that the reconstruction of truth, for contemporary people, can no longer be philosophical, because the age of a whole idea has passed. The reconstruction of truth can only start from sensibility. To start from sensibility is to start from art, in which the truth is represented. This is the true mission of art in our time. I think the younger generation will or is taking on such a mission in their spontaneous artistic creation. When we see young people who don't have the title of "artist" exhibiting their paintings or sculptures in old warehouses, I think it's something remarkable, a hopeful exploration of what might be possible. I have seen some of their works, and I have found that: first, they do not have the modern concept of traditional artists, there is no such interference, which is not so much their weakness, but rather their strength. Secondly, they are really influenced by traditional arts. Third, they are entirely from the emotional heart, and they use their works of art to re-weave the meaning of life. In their creative practice, art is to re-explore the meaning of life, rather than to pursue the aesthetic value that may be recognized by the market. They use art to express their perceptions of life, although these perceptions are at present only of individual nature, far from forming a universal appeal, but the art of every age, at its beginning is always like this. Maybe it already has a message for the future? Who knows? This has always been the case throughout history.

For example, at the end of the "Cultural Revolution" and the crushing of the "Gang of Four", some new works appeared in the world of Chinese poetry, literature and painting spontaneously and inexorably. Although the political pressure at that time had not been resolved, these works began to reveal the message of an upcoming new era. This is the case all over the world, which indisputably proves that art is the original occurrence of truth. In my opinion, in today's China, those who truly love art and engage in art should resolutely abandon all attitude of pursuing fashion, because this attitude is destroying the bright future of our art, reducing art to entertainment in life, or turning it into a kind of psychological satisfaction of curiosity. Art is not meant to be such a thing. Art is the cause of truth, it enters the destiny of a nation.
