How do new patterns and technologies change everyday life today? What is even more remarkable to me is that this is the first time an exhibition has...

It's really cosy. Everywhere you look in the UK there are people sunbathing on the lawns, something you rarely see in China. This kind of freedom, relaxation and enjoyment is what I have been pursuing!
