Artist's Statement

In a night-club-like ballroom in the City Harbin, lots of Russian dancers were making their lives. Tanya was new here, while she was tired of the life there. Her loneliness was increasing along with lots of frustrations. In an obscure noodle-restaurant, there was a Chinese boy named Youzi, who came from another South city, was tortured by something. The meeting of the two people made both of them find sustenance in each other. Tanya liked to spend time with Youzi, she even planned to invite Youzi to the zoo to see tiger, which was her favorite animal. While Youzi left the city without saying goodbye, Tanya had to see tiger alone.
