I want to make this particular entry, although there is only one work in the series right now. The launching of the Revive is like announcing my career, since I might spend the rest of my life researching, studying, experimenting, and discussing this theme. This moment is quite significant to me, because I have waited for so long!
Prologue of the Revive series is

The Revive is, or at least will be, a body of works which explores the
Hanfu Movement. The Hanfu Movement is a cultural revival movement which has begun in 2003. A men named Wang，Le-tian wore a home-made hanfu onto the street of Zhengzhou in northern-central China.This event had gained media attentions at the time, and had encouraged many people who share the same dream to start the restoration of Chinese cultures.

The main objective of the movement is to revive the
Han Chinese clothing, commonly known as
hanfu which was banned by the Manchurian leaders during the Qing Dynasty, and to find a way to integrate traditional cultural aesthetics and values into modern life style.
