Original artwork description:

With the progress of society and technology, uncounted historical sites were destroyed and few left.

The Chang An Left gate was demolished in 1952 and replaced by new street.
I first carved the gate, then destroied and re-carve1952, because it is gone. Then I put the 1952 in new city progress ...

As you see, this artwork is very special and different with my previous paintings.
There were many many different types of old gates around Old Beijing, 99% has vanished.

They need special protection as we protect pandas.

NOTE ：

The LINES was created by knife carving on oil material. This is my unique artistic style.

This painting need to be framed to hung up.
