‘The picture is composed of a large number of viruses, but when the audience watched carefully, they will find that the viruses in the picture gradually turn into money from the center to the surroundings, which triggers people's thinking about coronavirus during the pandemic and the corruption behind it. Corruption is as contagious as coronavirus. But as the picture changes, the virus and money gradually turn into flowers, expressing the author's beautiful vision of zero corruption in the future.’ Li Xu
