都市之网　　水墨设色纸本　　48×40厘米

　　舟行太湖，前后左右渔网连绵；远远近近水面上飘着三角形的小小黑旗，像无数失途的乌鸦， 非乌鸦也，都是指明水下有网的标志。煞他风景，太湖之行已失美感。水阔不任鱼游，处处触网，鱼虾生存维艰。

　　人们先筑巢而居，而今高楼华宅，都市林立。但辉煌的物质条件掩盖不了生活之艰辛，竞争之无情，犹如鱼虾，人们都落入了都市之网，谋生之网。

THE URBAN NET
Ink and colour on paper
48×40cm

Gliding on Lake Tai in a boat, one sees fishing nets far and near in every direction. There are numerous triangular black flags floating on the water, looking like crows which have lost their way. They are not crows, however, but markers indicating the presence of fishing nets in the water below. How they rob Lake Tai of its beauty, how they spoil the scenery. The water is expansive, but nets are everywhere lying in wait for fish and shrimps, spelling their doom.

Human beings first dwelt in caves, now they live in highrises and luxurious houses, a veritable urban jungle. But the material well-being of their glittering life-style cannot conceal life’s trials and tribulations, the ruthlessness of competition. Like fish and shrimps, people are caught in the urban net, the net of life.
