- Summary:
- "Last days of Village Wen, acquired by the museum in 2012, looks at the contemporary issues of environmental degradation and human migration.

He inscribes the title 'Wen cun ji shi (Documentary of Village Wen)', exploring the ambiguity between fiction and reality"--Cleveland Museum of Art's website.
