What would have happened to creation and life if he had moved to Beijing? This is a question that MAO is often asked. Artists like Zhang Xiaogang, Ye Yongqing and Pan Dehai, who have also been a "Southwest Group" have moved to or briefly drifted and stayed in Beijing. Being far from the centre and loving the native land is not the same as being conservative and settled. A man who seldom travels far can also be a veritable nomad in his mind. Mao Xuhui is such a "nomad", his "nomadism" is not the physical displacement of the body, but more is the spiritual exploration of depth. Faced to Kunming the city of flower which he has lived for a lifetime, and the theme of Guishan, which continues from the 85 'period, Mao Xuhui always focuses on the things he loves most and is familiar with.
