"The prestige of manipulating the color black is the sacred skill of the artist. In his works, there is not a single frame without the use of black. Without black, he is almost reluctant to pick up his brush. The inherent nature of black belongs to the realm of darkness and tranquility, but when juxtaposed appropriately with other hues, it can exude an elegant and dignified effect. Forcing a color, black has always been the most challenging to tame, yet it is an indispensable fundamental element in the artist's palette. Whoever can master black has undoubtedly reached a certain level of artistic accomplishment.

Moreover, the artist further incorporates the brotherly color of black, "gray," to enhance its magnificence. Within the harmony of grays, there are various shades such as gray-blue, gray-green, gray-yellow, gray-brown, and so on. Each shade of gray possesses its own unique charm, akin to savoring olives, smoking snow-additives, or relishing red-braised turtle... In summary, every sensation is profound, with lingering and enchanting aftertastes."

- Liu Kang
