"ʻOiai ʻaʻole nui ka poʻe i lohe mua iā Zhang Zhanzhan, ua ʻike lākou i kāna bea, ka bea ʻulaʻula," wahi a Serena Zhao, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka ArtDepot Gallery."Manaʻo kekahi poʻe ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o kekahi o nā kiʻi bea a Zhang ma ko lākou home e hauʻoli ai.ʻO kāna poʻe pā i kahi ākea, mai ʻelua a ʻekolu paha mau makahiki o nā keiki kindergarten a hiki i 50 a i ʻole 60 mau makahiki.Ua kaulana loa ʻo ia i waena o nā kāne pā i hānau ʻia i ka makahiki 1980 a i ʻole 1990.

Hānau ʻia i ka makahiki 1980, ʻo Hou Shiwei kahi mea hoʻokipa maʻamau.Ke nānā nei ʻo Zhang i ka hōʻikeʻike solo hou loa ma Beijing's ArtDepot, ua hoihoi koke ʻia ʻo ia e nā hōʻike.

"Hoʻomanaʻo mai ka nui o kāna mau hana i kaʻu mau ʻike ponoʻī," wahi a Hou."He ʻeleʻele ka hope o kāna mau hana, a ua pena ʻia nā mea nui i ka ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula, e hōʻike ana i nā manaʻo o loko o nā kiʻi, me ke ʻano o ke kaʻina hana ʻeleʻele.Ua ʻōlelo mua ʻo Murakami Haruki i kou puka ʻana mai kahi ʻino, ʻaʻole ʻoe e like me ka mea i hele i loko.

ʻOiai ʻo ia ka mea nui ma ke kiʻi kiʻi ma ke Kulanui o Nanjing, ua hoʻolaʻa ʻo Zhang i ka hapa nui o kāna ʻoihana ʻoihana mua i ka ʻimi ʻana i kāna ʻano hana hana ʻokoʻa.

"Manaʻo wau ua mehameha nā kānaka a pau," wahi a ka mea pena."ʻAʻole ʻike paha kekahi o mākou.Ke ho'āʻo nei au e hōʻike i nā manaʻo o ka poʻe: mehameha, ʻeha, hauʻoli, a me ka hauʻoli.Manaʻo nā kānaka a pau i kekahi o kēia mau mea, ʻoi aku a liʻiliʻi paha.Manaʻo wau e hōʻike i kēlā mau manaʻo maʻamau. "

Ua uku ʻia kāna mau hana, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana he nui kāna mau hana e hōʻoluʻolu a hoʻōla nui iā lākou.

"I koʻu hele ʻana i waho, ua ʻauheʻe ke ao ma mua, e ʻae ana ka lā e noʻonoʻo i kēlā kiʻi kiʻi rapeti," wahi a kekahi malihini."Me he mea lā e noʻonoʻo mālie ana, a ua hoʻopā mai kēlā ʻano iaʻu.Manaʻo wau e hopu koke nā mea pena kiʻi i nā mea nānā me kā lākou ʻōlelo ponoʻī a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea kikoʻī ʻē aʻe.

ʻOiai ua kaulana nā hana a Zhang i waena o ka poʻe ʻōpio, ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ma ke ʻano he kiʻi kiʻi, e like me Serena Zhao.“I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ma kahi seminar hoʻonaʻauao hale kiʻi noʻeau, ua kūkākūkā mākou inā pili nā hana a Zhang Zhanzhan i nā hana kiʻi kiʻi a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea hana o kēia wā.ʻO ka poʻe pā o nā kiʻi o kēia wā e manaʻo ʻia he hui liʻiliʻi, me nā mea hōʻiliʻili pilikino.A ʻoi aku ka kaulana a hiki i nā mea a pau ke kiʻi kiʻi.Ua ʻae mākou he koʻikoʻi ʻo Zhang Zhanzhan ma nā wahi ʻelua. "

I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua hana ʻo Zhang i nā ʻāpana o ka lehulehu.Ua lilo ka nui o lākou i mau ʻāina ʻāina.Manaʻo ʻo ia e hiki i nā mea nānā ke launa pū me kāna mau hoʻonohonoho waho.Ma ia ala, e hoʻohauʻoli a hōʻoluʻolu ai ka lehulehu i kāna hana noʻeau.
