In Songzhuang, large and small art galleries and painters' studios seem to be open to the public all year round. The news of art exhibitions is like the sound of firecrackers being set off during the Spring Festival. Before they are finished blowing up here, they are already ignited over there, crackling, sometimes exploding at the same time. Every day, visitors to the exhibition come in groups of twos and threes, looking at the paintings and commenting. There were also media outlets carrying cameras to interview and do special features. Art dealers and collectors seemed to be silent when they arrived, quietly unloading and carrying away paintings worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's hard to count the paintings sent out from here every year, and the amount of money flowing in is astronomical. Some people say that Songzhuang in China today is equivalent to Paris in the 19th century, where a large number of contemporary artists from home and abroad gather. Some painters have earned tens of millions of dollars in recent years, while others have been unable to sell a single painting for many years. In a few years, they cannot even pay the rent.
