Biography
“Frequently, rice is used as a metaphor associated with importance, a basic necessity, wealth, contentment and happiness. To me, rice is a bridge that brings the true traditional Chinese culture into western world. It is basically a grain of Chinese soul.”
有米（粤语/广东话）：意为有钱，富裕。
对我来说，米是中国传统文化和西方世界的桥梁。每一颗/粒米基本上代表着中国人的心与灵魂
