Wu Zejian's works often take people as the main subject. His works can be interpreted as a reflection on the distance and emotional communication between people. Today's urbanization process and technology make the distance between us always so close and so far. Communication between us and others has become easier than ever, while at the same time, understanding has become particularly complex. Using old photographs, newspaper or magazine illustrations, and everyday photography as inspiration, the artist uses the sensitive yet fragile brushstrokes, stark blocks of color on canvas, and images of detachment, silence, and desire to speak, to fictionalize the hurt and struggle in different contexts in order to reflect the common emotional experience of contemporary people. 
 

A few years ago I saw a story on my phone, the article and pictures were about a father holding his two dead children after a gas war in Syria and kept saying: baby, say goodbye to daddy.  Suddenly, the world is such a dangerous mess.

On the other side of the world, these two children were taken away by war before they had a chance to know the world. The last time I thought I was in a dangerous environment was when I was walking in an underground tunnel and suddenly found out that my cell phone had no signal. It's a collapsed world.

The title of the piece "Anyway the wind blows" is taken from a line in Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, 
"Anyway the wind blows, Doesn't really matter to me"
