　　The large-scale mixed media installation on the left hand side of the First Progress Hall, entitled "Vertical Wheat Field", was created by the artist Chen Yuqiang.

The exhibit was exhibited in Australia in 1996. It is said that Chen Yuqiang removed the device and put it in a school bag, and went with his back on his back.

When the reporter mentioned this, Chen Yuqiang smiled and confirmed that the "rumor" was true. He pointed out that he showed the reporter a seemingly huge device, every board and every wooden stick is foldable, "This is Hong Kong, we lack space. So what should the artist do? Be flexible."
