About me
Ye Qian
a designer and media artist
If I stop the pursuit of knowledge in different fields, I would live in endless ignorance and confusion; If I don’t explore the world, I would not be able to appreciate the beauty of life; If I don’t share minds with different people in the world, I would only have an obscure meaning of life. I was deeply touched by Russell’s words, ”the longing for love, the pursuit of knowledge, compassion for human suffering is deterred, these three simple but strong feelings dominate my life.” For me, knowledge and experience are my legs, belief is my inexhaustible motivation.
