In 2002, by chance, at the age of 16, he was deeply attracted by the vivid paper-cutting works on the street and began to learn paper-cutting, which was out of control.

With the maturity of paper-cutting skills, combined with his own painting skills, his creative passion is growing, and hard work pays off.
