The artwork interweaves and blends the imagery of Shaanbei farmers and Macao teachers and students. An old farmer pauses his tractor, removes his helmet, and peers at Macao teachers and students sketching. The composition crisscrosses elements, with characters from different regions and backgrounds coexisting in the same frame, allowing viewers to experience the intertwining of time and space. By selecting key historical milestones and incorporating elements such as the 25th anniversary of Macao's return, the work reflects on the transformations of the era and the progression of history.
