Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects.
Wanting to protect them, I started building houses for ants, using
little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little
cups and saucers from silver foil (箔纸) for the magical creatures.
When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made
things, the bigger my name would become.

As the years went by, my designs became more complicated.
Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable. I sometimes work for 16
hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to
finish a sculpture. I have to hold my breath during the sculpting
process.
One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was
working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was
heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic
Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in the wonderland

forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one
the second time around.
My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met
the queen, giving her a crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received
my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by
hand, a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair. In 2017, I
beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured
0.078 mm by 0.053 mm.

I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my
teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my
autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops
in schools for neurodiverse children, sharing my story and helping them
create their own miniature figures.
The microscopic world has always been my happy place. I’ve
tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me. We need to
appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty,
too.

B [2025·四川内江高二期中]
I’m a huge music fan. Jazz is one of my favourite music genres
and Keith Jarrett is one of the most influential piano players of the last
50 years. I love live jazz, because it’s one of the few music genres
where you can hear talented artists stretch past the point of their own
expectations.
A story I heard the other day—about Keith Jarrett’s legendary
album, The Köln Concert—tells of the time when he was on tour back
in Europe and went to play a sold-out concert. He showed up at the
1

concert to find that that young concert promoter had rented a small,
out-of-tune piano that had sticky keys and pedals that didn’t work.
Keith refused to play a concert initially and only after hours of
convincing did he agree to perform on the piano. Keith would later
describe the Köln concert as one of the most challenging performances
of his career. All of these adversities and frustrations helped Keith
create music that no one had ever heard before, not even himself.
Reflecting back on this concert, Keith typically says that the
amazing quality of the music came from not having the core

elements of his preparation. But he also talks about the fact that
being out of his element and facing challenges that he had never
seen before forced him to recognize the potential of the situation
and trust in himself. That unique dilemmatic crossroads created the
Köln concert.
We rarely unlock our true potential unless we are challenged
with some obstacles or are forced to overcome what seems impossible.
The legendary Köln concert is the result of a unique learning process
