"Jointly guard "Shanghai", wait for the flowers to bloom" "Salute before the war epidemic" "Temporary silence is for the sunshine of tomorrow"... A few days ago, the Hongqiao Museum of Contemporary Art launched and mobilized artists in Changning to create. Cultural and artistic workers in Changning District have used calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, photography, poetry, prose and other methods to record and reflect the people's anti-epidemic actions of putting their lives first, uniting as one, and watching out for each other.

The 2022 Changning District Artists Association's online exhibition of anti-epidemic art works exhibited works created by artists in Changning District that reflect the fight against the epidemic. This is the historical record of the special period, and it is also the determination and confidence of all members of the Changning Artists Association to defeat the virus.

The Changning District Calligraphers Association actively responded to the call of the Municipal Federation of Literature, the Municipal Book Association, the District Bureau of Culture and Tourism, and the District Literary Association, and mobilized the members of the Association to write works full of true feelings, express encouragement to patient compatriots, pay tribute to angels in white, and pay tribute to epidemic prevention workers and volunteers who are fighting in the frontline. "In the face of the epidemic, doctors should be the first, their duty is not to be afraid", "watch over each other and fight the epidemic together", "time is silent, wait for flowers to bloom", "the virus is merciless and people have feelings", and other majestic and powerful calligraphy works convey the common wishes of artists. The organizers said: "I hope to use these calligraphy works to praise the anti-epidemic heroes and praise the deeds of the anti-epidemic." Let's cheer together! The battle against the 'epidemic' will be won! ”

In the face of the epidemic, some people have stepped forward, some people have gone up against the current, and some people have remained kind and frank. On the special day of fighting the epidemic at home, the printmaking artists who stayed at home also used their different artistic languages to record the bits and pieces of this special period. Lu Zhiping's "Urban Weather" series, Jin Xianglong's "Tribute to the Great White", Xiong Youfei's "Temporary Silence, is for the Sunshine of Tomorrow", portraying the anti-epidemic moments in Shanghai during this time; Zou Xiangqun's "A Bar Series" expresses the city's expectations for defeating the epidemic; Chen Xiaoyun's "Eighteen Symbols of The Fight against the Epidemic" is sonorous and powerful.
