Скачать или смотреть Full Circle: A Renowned Artist Returns to the Soil That Raised Him

Li Yinlong, a member of the China Adventure Association, was part of the first generation of "left-behind children" in rural China. Today, he is an artist who has returned from the city to the countryside. In pursuit of the pinnacle of stone blade art, he left behind a 14-year career as an internationally award-winning designer and returned to the suburbs of Shunyi, Beijing.

His inspiration comes from nature—hiking, road trips, traveling the world—drawing strength from mountains and rivers. In May 2024, he successfully summited Mount Everest, which led to the creation of his "Himalaya Series." He imbues stone with warmth through his hands, seeking the true essence of life in his creations.

His story is not only an inspiring tale of a left-behind child's journey but also a classic case of the perfect fusion of art and nature. It encourages more people to bravely pursue their dreams, suggesting that we will ultimately meet at the peak of our lives.
