1981 Design And Art
We've been called the generation of post-80s. We were born at the beginning of the Opening-up and Reform period. Fortunately, we were not too young to blindly accept the Western brands, nor too old to reject any cute Japanese merchandise out of sheer nationalism. During the course of intoxication, we witness an amazing transformation, a self-converting process. Fair choices could be made.
