Collecting contemporary art is actually a action of supporting the art making, concerning the reality and discovering the future. And it is part of the history making and implementation of dreams.

收藏正在发生的当代艺术，实际上是在赞助艺术、关注现实、发现未来，更是理想实现过程的历史担当。

But I do think it's a pity there are so few young collectors of Chinese contemporary art. I hope to see more youngsters begin collecting Chinese contemporary art in a genuine manner.

但是，我觉得很遗憾，在中国收藏当代艺术的年青收藏家太少了，我希望看到更多的年青人开始真正的中国当代艺术品收藏。
