For me, Live Young is an attitude toward life. Whether working or having fun, it’s about enjoying every moment and finding a way to dance in the everyday.
I used the colors and flowing curves of Dunhuang murals, mixed with modern geometric figures, to show the daily life of young people today—working, skateboarding, taking selfies, drinking bubble tea. The words “live young” are shaped from ribbons.
Some patterns look like Wi-Fi signals, reflecting how we’re always connected online. I also hid little surprises in each character—for example, the qilin’s horn is actually a game controller.
This is how I see today’s youth: we seek freedom, break the old to create the new, embrace life with passion, and keep running forward.

Live Young在我看来是一种生活态度，工作也好玩乐也罢，时刻享受并在平凡生活中舞蹈，就是"young"的态度。 我取用了传统敦煌壁画的配色和曲线美，结合了新时代几何形的设计人物，绘制了当代青年的日常——工作，滑板，自拍，喝奶茶……并且用丝带组成了“live young”几个字。
装饰纹样我画的很像Wi-fi的符号，正如我们被互联网包围着。每一个人物我都藏了一些小彩蛋。（比如麒麟的角其实是游戏手柄）
这就是当代青年——我们追求自由，我们从旧破新，我们热烈拥抱，我们全力奔跑。
Thanks!
