The impetuosity to get as much information as possible and the following state of being lost in it are the main subject being depicted by ink painter Shang Ke, a resident artist of the China National Academy of Painting.

"May be it is an inevitable situation. But meanwhile I want to step aside, retreating to be alone, and reflect on what people really think about in their mind," he says.



Shang shares his observation of the urbanities, their passion and anxieties, at To Watch, To Reflect, his one-man show at the academy's art museum, until July 31.



The exhibition is under the banner of Not Alone in the Righteous Path, a project that China National Academy of Painting launched in 2021 to show the work of its resident painters.

The vessel will now enter the stage of equipment and system debugging, as well as the final stage of interior decoration before its delivery, which is expected to take place by the end of 2023.



The 323.6-meter-long and 37.2-meter-wide cruise ship can accommodate a maximum of 5,246 guests. It will have a luxury hotel, cinemas and a water park on board.

First created in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the Beijing Central Axis, or Zhongzhouxian, stretches 7.8 kilometers between the Yongding Gate in the south of the city and the Drum Tower and Bell Tower in the north. Most of the major old-city buildings of Beijing sit along this axis.

Gates, palaces, temples, squares and gardens of the old city are all linked up to the axis. As they witnessed the folk activities along the line from old days to new ones, they themselves are a joy to behold at all times. (Xinhua/Li Xin/ Luo Xiaoguang)
