The leading creator attempts to focus on the average age of 70 years old who living in the remote areas and having been engaged in the primary industry for a long time. They think those people also have the right to express art. Those old people use their nearly a century of world cognition and the most primitive impulses to paint. They record their life, painting state, and the changes after painting, and then display these "virgins" and video materials to show their different life and artistic practice status. This is the first one of their works, and perhaps their last one.

Star is an experimental artistic work which discusses the art inheritance. When we look up to the sky and watch the numerous stars, it is hard to imagine that the light of star has already gone through hundred millions of light years. That brightest star we can see now may have long gone. How about the dissemination of arts? Those maestros whom we adore today have already passed away; while their works are just as bright as the stars, which attract future generations to study and explore. The world without the works of these maestros is just like the pitch-dark universe without the light of stars. In the work, we take light as the carrier. With the combination of music, dance and image, we convey our enthusiasm and insistence to art to the audience from the bottom of our heart.
