Blue and Yellow - Art exhibition 

In this era of rapid development, emerging new things continue to fill our world with colors and make the world colourful, but there is a group of people, no matter how colorful the world is, for which colors never change. 

This group of people would know what Tiffany blue, Naples yellow, or mint green are, but we have to embrace them to experience the world. By reading this, did you get the sense that this exhibition in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province is special? Yes, it is an exhibition dedicated to people with color blindness. 

The exhibition shows paintings which try to change how people define colors, and it wants to encourage more people to believe that the concept of color should be defined with more freedom. 

The theme of the art exhibition is deep and meaningful. It reminds us that being able to see the world's beauty is a gift, and also alerts us to give respects and love to different people.
