"I am currently residing in Lisbon, a city that I have called home for a few years. It's a charming small city with a laid-back southern European vibe, where you can easily catch a half-hour train to the beach and bask in the sun. The macaron-colored buildings and cozy cafes are perfect for leisurely strolls and relaxing breaks. One of the things I love about this city is the embrace of cultural diversity. And, let's not forget, walking around the streets here definitely makes my bum look good!"

"I chose to depict a familiar scene for freelancers in Shanghai - the coffee shop. Shanghai is known for having the most cafes in the world, and it's becoming increasingly popular for people, including illustrators and freelancers, to frequent cafes for work and meetings. My illustration portrays people discussing their work, grabbing a takeaway coffee while walking their dogs, and myself painting in this bustling cafe scene."

"I am currently based in London and recently moved to a new apartment. It's located near a train station, so I get to see trains passing by outside my window every day. My apartment is situated in a more rural area, with less light pollution. At night, I can look up from my balcony and see twinkling stars in the dark sky for the first time since I lived in central London for five years."

"I am currently residing in Hangzhou, where the city is getting busy with the upcoming spring tea picking season. Through my illustration, I aim to convey the idea of this activity and the tea culture. I drew inspiration from Matisse's work to capture the buzz and vibrancy of the tea picker's life during this season."

"I am currently residing in London, but I would like to introduce my hometown, Luohe, which is a small and serene city in China. The city is surrounded by rivers, and I find inner peace when I gaze at the reflection of the sunset on the water."

"I currently reside in Shanghai, but I am not much of an outgoing person. I live in an old neighborhood, and I find comfort and peace in the surrounding old buildings, especially when I climb up to the rooftop at night."
