Jingquan's First Vlog

We hear sounds from everywhere without ever having to focus. Where a visual space is s an organized continnuum of a uniformed connected kind, the year world is a world with simultaneous relationships (McLuhan, 60).

I didn't realize that this was my hobby at that time. I just saw beautiful things and wanted to keep them, have them, and enjoy them repeatedly. It's like someone can't help taking pictures when they see the beautiful scenery. I put all the cut pieces on the head of my bed so that I could watch them sleep.  Here is the look of Panda  cigarette box.  imgres My Earliest Handmade Work Interestingly, It also related to the  Panda c igarette box.  When I was four years old, I happened to see my grandmother mending grandpa's trouser legs in front of the sewing machine.
