The track of her life is fully presented in the works of Mengmeng, from the struggle of youth to the melancholy of dreams, from surrealism to montage, and from murky to bright colors. In her own words, it is the real record of self-growth, telling people her story in either dreamy or pure colors. In surreal painting, the language of space and time tells a woman's beautiful expectations of the real world and personal statement of her life. Tracks of life manifest in rich forms in the each individual’s personal growth. Recording the images of different periods with video, and presenting the current state of being in a 3-dimensional manner, Mengmeng delved deep into professional topics. After becoming a mother, Mengmeng began to pay more attention to women's inner selves at different ages in the society, using images to show the conditions of women’s social survival and to highlight the diversity of their interior figure, shifting her focus form herself to the larger population.
