Golden bamboo, a cat, and butterflies;
In this painting, there is an additional cat quietly sitting in the bamboo forest, with several butterflies fluttering around it. The cat symbolizes a kind of tranquility and inner balance, reminding us that even in our busy lives, we should find time to get along with nature. As we spend time with our pets, so we can also get closer to our nature.

Bamboo symbolizes resilience and longevity in Chinese culture, while pandas are vulnerable animals, whose vulnerability urges us to protect the ecological environment.
The golden elements not only show off the preciousness of bamboo but also encourage everyone to cherish our planet’s natural resources.
