No efforts were made to preserve these figures. The first figures completed were already cracking from drying out before the clay had been completely applied to the figures that were started later. At the end of the exhibition the statues were broken into small bits and thrown away on site. The next time that work is exhibited, Cai will once again rely on current students at the institute to recreate the sculptures.
這些泥像雕塑並不刻意保存，後面的作品還在上泥，前面的作品已任其乾裂、破損，等到展覽結束後，更會在美術館現場打碎丟棄，待下次展出時，再委由當地的藝術學院師生重新雕塑。
