Using colored pencils, acrylic markers, and gouache, 10-year-old Xia Lanshu from China has vividly captured the energy and cultural diversity of the country, creating a stunning fusion of tradition and modernity with bright colors and lively lines. In the center, a taikonaut represents China's achievements in technology and space exploration, while on the left, a man in traditional hanfu rides a galloping horse – symbolizing the country's rich cultural heritage and vitality.

The depiction of space and planets in the background adds a futuristic touch, reflecting aspirations for technological advancement, while the flowing ribbons and flying birds bring a dynamic, free-spirited energy to the piece. Let's celebrate this vision of an innovative and dream-filled China!

Congratulations to Lanshu for winning the Third Prize in the "China Through My Eyes" Global Children's Art Project!
