The Titanic exhibition displays more than 300 cultural relics salvaged from the Atlantic Ocean, 2.5 miles (more than 4000 meters) deep. Viewing the exhibition reminds us of our common humanity. Objects as commonplace as a vase, a silk tie , and a postcard, are filled with a silent language，reminding us of life's fragility and the importance of loved ones. The proud prediction that the ship would never sink was destroyed by the merciless sea. The story of the Titanic reminds us that men cannot rely too much on science and technology. And, a once shimmering gold watch，its hands swept away by the frigid waters of the North Atlantic，warns that wealth does not insulate against tragedy.

Foreword
The child is made of one hundred.
The child has a hundred languages
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing,of speaking.
A hundred always a hundred
ways of listening
of marveling
of loving
a hundred joys for singing
and understanding
a hundred worlds to dream.
The child has a hundred languages (and a hundred hundred hundred more)
but they steal ninety-nine
the school and the culture
separate the head from the body
They tell the child to think without head
to do without hands
to listen and not speak
to understand without joy
to love and marvel
only at Easter and Christmas.
They tell the child
to discover the word already there
and of the hundred
they steal ninety-nine.
Excerpts of ‘No way, The hundred is there!’ ——Loris Malaguzzi

When it comes to the relations between the brush-and-ink and the artistic creation, Wang Ye emphasizes the unique value of “a particular scene at a particular moment”, which finds its perfect expression in her “Rain Forest” series. She conveys the richness of the rainforest by selecting, concluding, reorganizing and simplifying the objects seen in the luxuriant rain forest, and she coordinates the demand of paintings and the colors by combining the color-application patterns of traditional Chinese paintings with the coloring habit of traditional murals while absorbing techniques of print-making.
