Mainland China has the implementation of socialism with Chinese characteristics and democratic centralism. The socialist system and policies shall not be practiced in Hong Kong, and the previous capitalist system and way of life shall remain unchanged. For Hong Kong, except defense and foreign affairs, we can have the right of high degree of autonomy and to participate in international affairs. This is known as "Hong Kong citizens ruling Hong Kong under a high degree of autonomy". Growing up in such a different environment and education, artists from China and Hong Kong will nuture different artistic concepts and content of expression. Hence, the gallery will highlight the differences of art and culture through this exhibition.

The participating artists include: Fan Mingzheng, Kang Haitao, Ling Chin Tang Parry, Shen Liang, Tsang Chui Mei, Vivian Poon, and Wu Haizhou.
