"Nanmen Market as a Family" is a microcosm of our daily life. Every face in the pictures, every ingredient in the restaurant, and the warm greetings behind the counter seem to jump out of the book, reminding us of the days when we went to the market holding our mother's hand. ＿＿Li Yingping (CEO of Taiwan Good Foundation)
The painter makes good use of colorful colors to express the bustling scene of the new market, and also skillfully uses low-saturation colors to depict the quaint beauty of the market in ancient times. ＿＿＿ Zheng Mingjin (art educator, illustrator)
