我一岁半时因病致聋。我从小喜欢绘画，1988年在校学习文化与美术，后又专攻刻瓷与陶艺，1998年来到东方陶艺村。

命运把我推进一个无声的世界，陶艺却给予了我一个多彩的空间，我喜欢陶艺的古老、永恒和大地般的深沉与凝重，我坚信人生最大的快乐不是占有，而是创造！

"I was left deaf by an illness at the age of one. Painting has always fascinated me. In 1988 I studied liberal arts and fine arts at school, and later focused on porcelain and pottery making. I joined the Village in 1998.

I was pushed into a silent world by misfortune, but led to a colorful paradise by pottery art. Of pottery I love its antiquity, immortality and Earth-like depth and profundity. I believe that the greatest happiness of human life lies not in possession, but in creation."
