The impact of Western merchandise, the changes in Chinese values and mentality are meticulously reflected in Song Wei's works. While the experiences reflects what he and his contemporaries have gone through, his works have relevant implications for the current situation of China. That "Chinese" motif engraved in the bear has become a major trait of his work, it could also mean that we have long been stamped with the Chinese mark, which makes his work even more appealing.
