Many years ago, Simone de Beauvoir writings inspired and invigorated me, leading me to realize deeply that, although women are the bearers and creators of life—indeed, one could say that women are the only "creators" visible to the human eye, almost divine in nature—they face systemic exploitation and oppression in many countries and social contexts.
I often contemplate: if life is a grand reality show that each person chooses to participate in voluntarily, then my script revolves around the themes of "female identity," "survival in adversity," and "creating a new world." This intensely real, challenging, and immersive experience of the game is perhaps something I chose willingly long ago. So let us fully embrace this game! Do not succumb to numbness! Refuse to compromise! With the mentality of a player, an explorer, and a creator, I use painting, poetry, and imagery as my tools, aspiring to be my own observer. I seek to document my experiences and reflections on this game called "life," striving to forge a world that is more beautiful, free, and conducive to the thriving of women—especially for those who are about to join this game.

多年前，西蒙娜·德·波伏瓦的著作《第二性》启发和鼓舞了我，让我深刻地感受到，尽管女性是生命的孕育者与创造者，甚至可以说，女性是人类肉眼所见的，唯一的“造物主”，是“神”一般的存在。然而，她们却在许多国家和社会环境中，遭受着系统性的剥削和压迫。
我时常想，如果“人生”是每个人自己主动选择的一场大型真人秀节目。那么，我的游戏脚本便是关于“女性身份”、“绝境生存”与“创造新世界”，如此真实、艰难和沉浸式的游戏体验，也许都是当初的我自愿选择的。那么，就好好地玩一场游戏吧！不要麻木！不能妥协！以玩家、探索者和创造者的心态，以绘画、诗歌和影像作为工具，做自己的观察者。记录我对“人生”这一游戏的体验与反思，并尽力为那些即将来玩这个游戏的女性，创造出一个更加趋于美好、自由和更适合女性生存的世界。
