The group exhibition Another Tongue of Mine presents a series of paintings and video works by Li Ran, Liu Xiaodong, Laure Prouvost, Wael Shawky, and Shen Xin, exploring how the symbols and systems of language fundamentally shape our perception of the world, creating endless transformations in speaking, translating, listening, contemplation or even silence.
The exhibition derives its title from a prose of the same title by Chinese writer Wang Meng, where he recounts his experience of learning Uyghur in Xinjiang during the 1960s. Wang regards language as a medium that bridges narratives and understanding between oneself and others. Through narration, learning, and listening, the image of the other is constructed, outlining the boundaries or touching upon the possibility of coexistence. Language is not a neutral, objective vessel; once filtered through it, consciousness and beliefs shadow every linguistic act and narrative. The similarities and differences in language flow and intersect between individuals, groups, and cultures, forming new constructs of discourse and power. In this presentation, the artists navigate between practices of painting and video, seeking medium specificity while crafting an intertextual system that achieves poetic resonance across forms and texts.
Li Ran presents Life fo the Pilgrim (2017), a video that weaves together archival photos, including images of Xinjiang Construction Corps’ production practices in May Day pasture and news photography. Through a semi-fictional narrative, Li explores his perspective on history, which he describes as complex and shattered, from both third-person and first-person viewpoints. Alongside are four paintings created between 2023 and 2024, an extension of the artist’s 2023 solo exhibition Waiting for the Advent at Lisson London. These paintings, with symbolic motifs and satirical undertones, explore the themes prevalent in Li's work. Evoking the style of satirical cartoons, You People Are So Political (2023) prompts viewers to contemplate the omnipresence of politics; while Repeated Forward (2023) draws its title from Søren Kierkegaard's Repetition, where two figures breaking out from confinement are astonished by what they are confronted with – a form of modernism that somehow has been pre-determined.

This is a must-visit place, very famous. It&#39;s like coming to Beijing, if you don&#39;t visit the Great Wall, you&#39;re not a true man.
-Xianglu Peak: It is the top of Xiangshan Mountain, 575 meters above sea level. There is a huge rock on the top of the mountain, which looks like an incense burner from a distance. In addition, there are often clouds and mists around it, just like the smoke of cigarettes. It is named because of its steepness.

In the Harmonious Garden area of the Summer Palace, there&#39;s a unique pavilion called &quot;Xiao Youtian.&quot; Built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, it features eight pillars, double eaves, and a pointed roof. Its name, inspired by the Taoist concept of the &quot;Thirty-Six Minor Heavens,&quot; suggests a tranquil haven akin to a paradise. Its name may also reference Du Fu&#39;s poem, &quot;The ancient Qiuchi Cave, subtly connects to Xiao Youtian.&quot; The pavilion is surrounded by rockery, creating a captivating scene.

I experienced the Water Cube and it was really fun. The Water Cube is a large water park with a variety of water rides. My favorite is its water slide, which is very fast and exciting.

The advantage of the Water Cube is that its facilities are very complete and suitable for visitors of all ages. In addition, the environment of the Water Cube is very clean and the staff is very friendly, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Overall, the Water Cube is a very recommended water park. If you like water activities, then the Water Cube is definitely a place not to be missed. I strongly recommend everyone to experience the fun of the Water Cube.
