In his lecture titled “My Creative Journey”, Mr. Wu made a brief review on his artistic career by including stories and paintings which were simple but conveyed great implications. Mr. Wu believed that designs must be presented in an art way and for artists, art is a way of expressing feelings and values.

In the end of his lecture, Mr. Wu encouraged students to work hard and said “I like, I can, I will and I deserve”
