Since then, he has published academic works “Nietzsche and Metaphysics” and “What the Chinese Are Missing”, which has established his position in the philosophy circle of China.

“Arts in the Cloud”is the online live broadcast section of UAC, which will cover all-inclusive arts knowledge in the form of "Artists’ Sharing + Interaction". Relying on live broadcast platforms such as BiliBili and Zoom as the main channels, each episode of the section is about 60-90 minutes in length, including a wide range of topics, such as literature, fine arts, music, design, drama and other categories. Artists who may be hard to meet offline will be invited “in the cloud” to create a collision of ideas with you and look into the all-sided future of arts and life from the elementary to the profound.
