At the exhibition's opening, Jin said that hosting the exhibition at the Tianhe Art Gallery represents a breakthrough attempt in promoting line-drawing art.

Both artists hope to closely collaborate with cultural and creative institutions in Tianhe to create characters with Chinese cultural elements, hoping to strengthen the art form's general appeal.
