ABOUT ME
This guy is an Chinese graphic designer and an independent curator living in Shanghai. Actually he was born in Wuhan ( In the middle of China. ), and he moved to Shanghai in 2010 ( I promise that he didn't go there for EXPO ) and started his first job for a great creative agency Wieden+Kenndy Shanghai. After that he worked for different sorts companies, including design, magazine, new media, IT...... blablabla... Finally he started his own small studio JZSQ. He really liked to share his portfolio and indie projects with other peoples. ( Some you can find in his studio network http://www.jzsq.org ) Cause he really think that was the best way he can expressed himself with friends as much as possible.
Why this guy quiet his job and startup JZSQ
JZSQ stands for Jiu Zhou Sheng Qi, a 4-character idiom in Mandarin Chinese which literally means: The Future of China would get more lively. But it always can be another meaning in Chinese in same time: China is angry! Haha its a fantasy culture of Chinese language. The inspiration comes from an old poet by Gong Zhizhen (an Chinese poet in Qing Dynasty). We dont translate it in english, because we prefer people of the world recognize an Chinese label and learn at least 4 Chinese words different NiHao(hello), XieXie(Thanks), ZaiJian(Bye) and etc.
Actually the guy was still on searching about himself. These words above were only the external content about him.
So lets talk and discover a real me......
PHILOSOPHY
We think that we shall be able to live happily, creatively, if we learn a method, a technique, a style; but creative happiness comes only when there is inward richness, it can never be attained through any system.
