The Drama Culture Project aims to integrate the cultures of both Eastern and Western countries and encourages young people to re-examine traditional culture.

Hair accessory patterns are used to form English letters, which are then creatively transformed into Chinese characters.

Protecting Marine Life starts with a children’s picture book that highlights the root cause of ocean pollution—overfishing. Through the innocent and kind perspective of children and their deep value for friendship, the story resonates with readers and carries educational significance. 3D illustrations are used to create better interaction with children. The tragic ending of the protagonist, Echo, prompts the audience to reflect deeply.

The Redesign of Liyang's Rural Streets is intended to provide a place for office workers and students to relieve stress.
