I already have works from over ten years ago at such a young age.

I really don't want to reveal my age, but if I do the math, it really has been over ten years. So long that I've forgotten which teacher helped me with the inscription back then... It's one of only two sand-and-stone paintings I still have, depicting a real scene from Fenghuang Ancient Town: Mr. Huang Yongyu's Duocui Tower. It stands on the left bank of the Tuojiang River, backed by Tianma Mountain and facing Hong Bridge. It's a contemporary imitation-archway-style building with long stilts over the water, a suspended platform, and upturned eaves. It features traditional Xiangxi square and rectangular lattice windows, giving it a unique, ancient, and elegant appearance. It blends seamlessly with the surrounding stilt houses, possessing significant artistic character. Friends who visit Fenghuang and take a boat tour will all pass by it. Personally, I think it's the most beautiful cluster of stilt houses along the Tuojiang River in Fenghuang Ancient Town~
