His Biography
Born in 1974 by Dongping Lake which is located in Dongping County,
Tai’an City, Shandong Province, I spent my childhood in joy.
Unfortunately, at the age of 7, I was misused too much streptomycin for
my illness, and then turned deaf and mute, unable to hear the voice from
outside or shout out my inner words.The voiceless years that followed
witnesses the process of my medical treatment, upon which my parents
based their desperate hope, during which how many doctors were visited
was even rather obscure to both of them. Watching the kids of my age or
even younger go happily to school, I envied them so much so that tears
came down my face. I didn’t cry when I sought medical care. I didn’t cry
either when I was given an acupuncture treatment. However, that time I
couldn’t help crying loudly: Why couldn’t I attend school like others?
After I had calmed myself down, I had a new perspective of my fate. As
to me, ceramic art is the only way I can communicate with the outside
world and the single language I can use to express my soul. Pottery is
my life, and that is all of me.
In 1987, aged 13, I was admitted into Laihu School of Deaf-mutes. In
1995, I furthered my vocational study of crafts and arts in Shandong
Special Education School. This laid a solid foundation for my later
development of ceramics.
I am keenly interested in art, devoting all of my heart and soul to the
study of pottery works. Many years after arduous work and everlasting
efforts, I have made some achievements: a number of works have been
exhibited in pottery exhibitions at home and abroad, many of them even
published in professional journals.
