Ren Sihong’s rich life experiences, and the fact that he narrowly escaped death, have helped him develop a sensitive judgment. After undergoing many changes and finding all doors closed to him, Ren found consolation and salvation in contemporary art. His experience is obviously a myth and legend in the history of contemporary art！The elements of humor, comedy, absurdity, and fun, found in his work, played only a small role in his comeback and subsequent good fortune. The key to his success was that he adopted a pose of stardom and this, in turn, fascinated and attracted those who chase after money and myth. Ren is unquestionably an unusual character in the annals of contemporary art；Someone who by pure chance seems to have lucked out.
