* the "Tokyo City View" on the 52nd floor of the Morita in Rakamoto, Tokyo. Here you can overlook Tokyo from the glass corridor, which is the venue of the Meitu Great painting Exhibition. The exhibition is in 27 years of new works, his masterpiece "I am True Enlightenment" (1982-86), "14 years old" (90-95), by contemporary artists, which is further new works of the sketch theme of the installation it is made up of. Through the entrance, you will first usher in many famous scenes of "rafting classroom" (7274). This is a masterpiece about the survival of pupils who are suddenly sent to the future world where the whole school building is abandoned one day. Photochemical haze and other issues of public nuisance were also included at that time. For Runji Ito, who was a primary school student at that time, this was a big "Meitu shock" work. "when I was a child, I told me, 'Young Sunday serialized great cartoons'. I went to the only bookstore in town. This is enough to cause the impact of trauma. "the terrible eating of strange insects by ruthless children from infancy, the overwhelming deployment of children of the same age, will die of patter." It is said that I bought all the booklets and read them again. In fact, the encounter between Mr. Ito and Meitu can be traced back to before entering kindergarten. In the "Girl Friends" read by my sisters, I learned about his works and was attracted. "I copied the beautiful girl's shouting face with a pencil, which is the hallmark of his work. In the drifting classroom, I like to depict strange insects, future humans and other strange things (laughter). The next exhibition is a huge installation of "I am True Enlightenment" made by modern artist Ekisonimo. The story of the awakening of industrial robots by Satoru (Satoru) and Mairin pupils to foresee the future, such as computers and artificial intelligence (AI), is also said to be one of the best masterpieces. "what is impressive is the scene of Wu and Zhenling jumping over the top of the Tokyo Tower. The relationship between a teenager and a young girl was also vividly described, and when I was 19 years old, I also read it with pure love. "
