Having come to a creative impasse more than a decade ago, he painted 100 self-portraits in just one year. Some of them were of a youth, others of an old man, and some were merely a lump of lines. Yet after all that painting, Wang says, "I still failed."
例如畫家王萬春，在十幾年前創作面臨瓶頸時，曾在一年內畫了一百多幅自畫像，有的年少青春，有的面帶老態，有的就是毛毛的一團，畫到最後，他坦承「還是失敗了。」
