About the art:
I wanted to show that China is a changing country in this drawing. Every time I visit my homeland, I notice so many changes that I can barely recognize the place. Industrialization is occurring so quickly that you can find brand new skyscrapers right next to little shacks and slums.
The Chinese people are looking forward to enjoying the simple things in life like owning a computer or car, and living in a house that doesn't have leaky roofs. Yet there is a unique culture that will be lost along with the impoverished past.
With the building of new apartments, traditional wood and brick houses will be torn down. The word "拆" in red on the the white wall in the right side of the picture means "demolish". It marks the grounds that will be replaced with skyscrapers. Many people are forced to move out, and the displaced population are usually too poor to afford the newly built apartments. Also all the continuous constructions create a lot of dust and air pollution. There is always a grey haze in the cities.
This is the inevitable future that the Chinese people must face since humans must move forward, and Sen notices the disparity of it all. They are only students right now, but they will grow up to be leaders. Between the conflicts of the past, present, and future, the Knites will try to change China for a better tomorrow.

They're trying/going to make the place I live a giant pit mine, they've opened their doors to multinational companies, with the excuse of generating more jobs, it's all for the gold. It feels so surealistic, i still can't believe it.

Hohoho, I see what you did there! The 'chai' thing. I really like how you integrate subtle (okay maybe half-subtle) hints as to what's happening in China.

Today I went to an anime convention at my place and I saw this print at one of the booth. At one glance, I already knew it was yours. I'm really sad at the booth owner that sells this print.

wow this is beautiful, I wish they'd keep a few of these old shacks... i agree part of the culture and history of china is torn down with them, plus they create a nice contrast to the skyscrapers as well as provide a place to get away and feel distanced from all the modernization of society.
