HERO——Solo Exhibition of LI WEI

TEXT:Sue Wang    DATE: 2011.9.7

?When a hero faces to death, it's a real death not just an illusion. To be a hero doesn’t mean to act honorably in danger as in movies, death itself doesn't need to be sensational and hero isn't exist sentimentally, he's not an idol for people to admire. Hero has complicated humility and he also is a normal people in real life. The truth of hero's end is: hero can see through the death itself. But nobody knows.
