Yu Wen Fu is renowned for "Let the Mountains Fly" in Taiwan Penghu 2001 Landscape Art Festival.  On the vast hills, thousands of kilometers of feather bamboo intermingled with reeds, dancing in the strong Penghu wind. The feathers seemed to flow like a river, and during that time, the hills of Penghu sang with the wind, holding the memories of poetry within the land. Contemporary art may seem indifferent and useless at times, but the choice of materials is the battleground for every artist. Some of Yu Wen Fu's artworks were created through labor with local women, elevating the material value of the land's agricultural products, feathers and bamboos. This contemporary art is like the sutra that calms people’s minds. 

The series at Tsinghua of abstract feather resembles clouds, luxuriant grass, and frost on leaves. It reveals the feeling of landscape. The artist has disheveled hair, a short beard, a shy smile, straightforward personality, and has thick Taiwanese accent. After years of dealing with feather bamboo, making his hands calloused. He's like a playful child who dances with the land and an artist who bows a hundred thousand times to the wind. These simple, labor-intensive movements are a departure from the complexity of the mind, leading to psychological tranquility, much like reciting scripture repeatedly—a pure simplicity.  

This exhibition's realization is a reason for gratitude, grateful for the artist's recognition of Tsinghua, grateful for time, and grateful for the unwavering artistic spirit that transforms everything from the earth into art with pure determination.
