Aesthetics are full of big names
Witness how "uncertainty" bears its "fruit"
What was your "uncertain fruit" over the past year? When the theme of "2021 Chengdu Life Aesthetics Award" was first revealed, it attracted the attention of Chengdu fans around the world with a topic with great urban energy. At the time of the award ceremony, the reporter interviewed a number of guests and asked them to talk about the "uncertainty" and "fruits" of the year.

The most uncertain factor is mutation, virus mutation or something else. What I want to share most is the present moment of normalcy, related to the environment, related to life and work: to cherish every opportunity to coexist and create, and to do what you love.

Writer He Dacao
After the publication of "Fist" in 2021, I was working hard to write another novel, or another Chengdu book, "Hidden Warrior". At the same time, friends from all over the world, because of the cherry blossom garden on the roof, in the same city, write their different childhoods and hometowns, showing a different beauty, just like we describe a forest, the part closest to the root.
The city is a movie that can't be finished and can't be finished. Looking back on the past 365 days, the "2021 Chengdu Life Aesthetics Awards" pays tribute to the forces that continue to follow and create beauty in the name of "Uncertain Fruit", which implies the code of the future city and is also forming a new seed about urban grammar. In the new year, may those who are certain and uncertain continue to break out of their shells, sprout and grow, and bear the "fruit" of beauty.
