Now there are too many arts to serve politics."
Wang Hanzhen said that his work is to make two different extremes confront.As far as aesthetics is concerned, it is very magnificent and absurd. At the same time, through the creation of the core values of socialism, it tests Western freedom and democracy.
He calls himself patriotic, but he also understands the problems of China.These 24 words are a good blessing, all of which are very good Chinese words."If China has reached, it does not need to stick the streets.", "But it has become a good wish."
In response to many people's criticism of Wang Hanzheng's creation, it is promoting the value of socialist value. Wang Hanzheng responded that reflection on political reflection does not mean that this is his political position, which is completely two things.
In response to whether this creation comes from the Chinese government's intention, he said: "If it is the Chinese government, how can it be written in the Red Brick Lane? How can you invite everyone to two?"
Wang Hanzheng went on to say that this work must be established in Red Brick Lane to be called art.He emphasized that this is not a political propaganda. If it is political propaganda, the graffiti may have been made in Western political propaganda. "We instead cover Western political propaganda."

However, after the murals came out of the street, they immediately attracted many people criticism, and many people made secondary creations of the murals to vent their dissatisfaction.For example: add words next to the word "patriotic" and rewrite it as "I patriotic, do not love me"; add "China No" and "404 Not Found" next to "democracy" and "freedom".
Wang Hanzheng also suffered cyber violence, and the information of him and his family was bottomed out.In this regard, Wang Hanzheng admitted in an interview that "I think I need to bear this consequences, because it (network bullying) is undoubtedly becoming a part of the work ... it has also become a state that allows works to reflect more problems."
