5. "Fat Girls Going to Beijing"
Xu: "My creation gives the fat girl a special meaning. It is to integrate the changes that are quietly taking place in Guangzhou's urban life into the theme expression of the fat girl, cross the gap between historical tradition and cultural language, and convey Guangzhou's "healthy, calm, optimistic and confident" spirit to the world stage through the artistic language of sculpture, so that viewers can intuitively perceive Guangzhou's diverse, confident, optimistic, friendly and enthusiastic lifestyle and enthusiasm.
