'He had worked in the Fields under the Mountain all his Life.'
Ink and acrylic on rice paper

Inspired by seeing an old man working in the fields every day planting lettuce. It was the care with which he planted them that remained with me and also the fact of the village being very old and the mountains seemed eternal and pivotal to the lives of these people, many of whose ancestors worked building the Great Wall.
