"Leopard Tracks" Author: [USA] Wu Hung Publisher: Shanghai Joint Publishing Company

Introduction
He is an internationally renowned art historian who plays an important role in the field of art research. He is also an important contemporary art critic. Many of his views on Western art, contemporary art, and Chinese painting and calligraphy are shocking. To some extent, he started the writing of Chinese art history, and he has never missed many important events in Chinese contemporary art. In addition, he is also an important curator. Mu Xin's first exhibition was curated by him, and the "1980s Chinese painters also established a "meeting" with the Western academic community and the public through his curatorial work.
He is the scholar Wu Hung. Mu Xin called him: "Mr. Wu Hung is majestic, like a warrior of ancient Rome."
This book is Mr. Wu Hung's first recollection of his 76-year personal history. He breaks through the general memoir-style writing and presents to readers neither the real past itself nor the complete fiction of a novel, but a creative reconstruction and imagination of experience, a more free and open "memory writing".
He uses a fantasy approach to present the throbbing and nightmare of encountering the flying statues in the Kizil Grottoes murals after escaping from a desperate situation; and uses a calm and restrained style to comment on the intricate and pious connection between individuals, national treasures, cultural relics, and traditional culture from the theft and recovery of the "Cicada Crown Bodhisattva" statue of the Northern Dynasties. He writes about his memories of life in the ancient city of Beijing as a teenager, and also reveals his peeping at books, as well as his personal stories with the nanny that are either private, frustrating, or embarrassing. Under the blue sky, on the shore of Lake Michigan, which is purple in the green, he meets himself again after the turbulent years and regains his study time, and feels the pursuit of academic transcendence over politics and personality independence by his teachers, friends, and friends of different ages.
