Harmonize without Compromise

It is Li Chen's response to today’s society that is made up by people from different background with different characteristic. Through the figure with headsets on the head, smile on the face, eyes shot, and hands clasped, Li Chen hopes to encourage genuine interactions among people. We listen to our own tune, and at the same time, accept others. We do not scrutinize others; with our eyes closed, we focus on our own goal. "Harmonize Without Compromise" is also one of Confucius ideas believed as the ideal foundation for a peaceful society. This piece delivers a positive message while it maintains a sense of lightheartedness. Li Chen's works often reflect his concern to the world around him.
