Pan Deng Goes Against the Trend

As the practical and extravagant trend being popular in the community, Pan Deng is one of a few who dares to go against the trend, but his prescription is not the reversion of classic genius, common sense and rationality. His works portray the secular trend jokingly: angels, people, animals, probably not to blame the deterioration of peace and harmony, but it should attribute to the endless disease in our hearts, especially that acquisitiveness has occupied devastated our lives today. Since acquisitiveness is a chronic illness for everyone today, in addition, we were enslaved by the extravagant desire, so to speak, it trapped us in the abyss. Love of money is a disease that makes people stagnant, and love of extravagance is the most despicable and nasty thing. People are no longer following the convention, and nasty thing. People are no longer following the convention, and never concern about their reputation, the deterioration of life has been finished in the vicious cycle, the lofty dignity in their soul has begun to decline, being withered and haggard. They just think much of their flesh, rather than the sublimation of soul.
