Yangtze inspires with its power

Quiet Nature, a group of drawings by ink artist Liu Wanming, shows the much-beloved giant panda in different poses not only to reflect its appeal but also to endeavor to protect this species and its environment.

Liu says what has been guiding his creation is an idea of Chinese philosophy "to pursue meticulousness in the treatment of details, while to present the extensiveness of the world".

"It is a wisdom that keeps reminding us to observe nature, to consider from the standpoints of other lives, and to learn to get along with the world," he says.
