I. Video “Flowing Cup”, Photography “Jiuqu Stones”
Li Aixiao alluded to herself as a small cup, walking, staying, and disappearing in the long river of time, to understand time and life. She stopped at every bend in the Jiuqu River to remember the history, respect the ancients, and pay tribute to Wang Xizhi. Each stopping and looking is the looking and thinking between her and life. At the same time, she made her interpretation of the mystery of Jiuqu stones’ writing by the action: they show the whole process of life. People lie down at birth and death but stand and walk in the river of life at other stages. In every bend, we will hesitate, stay and turn, but eventually flow to the end of time with the river of life.

The word "lying flat" has become very popular in China. With the rapid development of society, the young people of the 80s and 90s generation are facing great survival pressure. Therefore, many of us face it by lying flat. This behavior has been greatly criticized. Do we have the freedom to lie flat? Li Aixiao lay flat in front of the statue of Sun Yat-Sen in Zhongshan Hall until someone touched her body.

A child and Li Aixiao filled the stone inscription of the Chinese character "mountain" with small gravel and then took it down, which intuitively shows how the mountain became a mountain and how it was easily demolished by man. In this process, the filling-in is being removed, and the removal is filling-in.
