This competition took place at Dehua, a county in Fujian province. This place is well known for its white porcelain and has a large ceramics industry. There was a total of 5,327 entries to this competition spanning the themes of "cultural symbiosis", "advanced R&D", "digital economy", and "daily innovation". After a rigorous process, 50 projects were shortlisted to present at the in-person event at Dehua.

He presented to a jury of eight experts, notably including Liu Guanzhong, an industrial design pioneer and the person responsible for setting up the first industrial design degree programme in China at Tsinghua University!
