The audience watching the creation of this gunpowder drawing gasped in delight. Chinese ancients discovered gunpowder while searching for an elixir of immortality. Now, some two millennia later, Cai Guo-Qiang has playfully perfected this alchemy to once again prove that gunpowder can be used in a joyous, imaginative and beautiful manner-an altogether deeper and more enlightened way of conquering the world.
2000 年前，中國老祖宗在煉丹過程中發明了火藥，2000 年後，將火藥「玩」到爐火純青的蔡國強再度證明，火藥可以是歡樂美好、充滿想像的；用這種方式征服世界，帶給人們的啟發也將更深刻，更久遠。
