I've been called a fool many times over, so I decided to give my park the ironic name of Yuzi Paradise, or "Fool's Paradise" in Chinese.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">"The fool enjoys doing what he believes is right", as I've said many times over. We all know that private funding for the construction of art parks is rare enough even in developed countries. Many people of means simply decide to rest on their laurels and enjoy material comforts.<br /><br />But I, the fool, observed that while China now enjoys more material wealth, we still lack aesthetics in our daily life. To enrich the nation and the world's aesthetics is my life's goal.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">This may be hard for some people to grasp. Regardless, I will continue in my pursuit of aesthetic perfection. Life means more than wealth or power. Life needs an artistic, spiritual dimension, and an environment in which to experience it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">As a world famous scenic spot, Guilin boasts a beautiful natural landscape, yet until recently, there has been little of cultural relevance. Since the Song Dynasty, people have been coming to Guilin to enjoy the mountains and the rivers, to be baptized by the beauty of scenery. Now, with our world-class art park, visitors can revel to the wonder of natural mountains in dialogue with human-crafted sculpture.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDfR1OJMKsfOWDzBMQK5aVfIx5fVvn_LudrCGhKNlwfXSlw-AEKVJjfU04vGD3vTUZ26DCDize64x-xvsB12adbgsXrodVAnbzG2JZwXpWS4OzVcW9vpPWEINgDllwWtPFCR6HenqtLwU/s1600-h/Lightlake.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449369279978162642" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDfR1OJMKsfOWDzBMQK5aVfIx5fVvn_LudrCGhKNlwfXSlw-AEKVJjfU04vGD3vTUZ26DCDize64x-xvsB12adbgsXrodVAnbzG2JZwXpWS4OzVcW9vpPWEINgDllwWtPFCR6HenqtLwU/s400/Lightlake.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 200px;" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Yuzi Paradise and HOMA have helped set the course for a new kind of culture, joining talents from China, Taiwan, and other artists worldwide.

Well, in Chongqing, a city of 31 million people in south-central China, they've had enough. Not content with the rudimentary squat units found everywhere in China, the city has pursued some innovative ideas that are meant to make the experience not just easier, but a little more fun.<br /><br />First came round, open air urinals on the city's infamous "Foreigners Street," featuring tiny waist screens that left little to the imaginations of passers-by (below):<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTGZ9yT8HdqUEmjcNkLi8lU6_9sfiIipd6xethiilkDNDZNo_2Nei01AHmkKei3KB2jACLr-yzguFvlBd4GzTaYBbIDXM8WKjF4BEwB34-6NamoFPJJolDQaG-bEvMihMz-BxBpX89J-Ld/s1600-h/070710_toilets_0.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093803514968049026" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTGZ9yT8HdqUEmjcNkLi8lU6_9sfiIipd6xethiilkDNDZNo_2Nei01AHmkKei3KB2jACLr-yzguFvlBd4GzTaYBbIDXM8WKjF4BEwB34-6NamoFPJJolDQaG-bEvMihMz-BxBpX89J-Ld/s400/070710_toilets_0.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 626px;" /></a><br /><br />Then came news of outdoor sinks, pictured below, that made the hand-washing experience, um, different.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1wQkCIjPIFhd-OdukwmG7UaZvz4Psc91na2uux1kSIiU_ERGjEANDrQTfkOU-HYuxXs_Jcf33a3Qvf41AVj0w-cn9rQbIA6YgoBtIrRbEeacZ8k60WasK5xc5mU3UbWpl-6DCWHXX0sMc/s1600-h/070710_toilets1_0.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093803411888833906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1wQkCIjPIFhd-OdukwmG7UaZvz4Psc91na2uux1kSIiU_ERGjEANDrQTfkOU-HYuxXs_Jcf33a3Qvf41AVj0w-cn9rQbIA6YgoBtIrRbEeacZ8k60WasK5xc5mU3UbWpl-6DCWHXX0sMc/s400/070710_toilets1_0.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 703px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIx4dSY3hF7w-ESp7lRWO-3BKNjl6TB3DhVQakvaMnLycBZ9a3sU3ujIZfcJFBx_pFB9oA5C2Epmz3Eu42iG1-_qKEcTx3Ir22DC5p1eCggEmInU9iqrBu_JWcAuyP3F30XmRcnEPC269/s1600-h/070710_toilets2_0.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093803579392558482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIx4dSY3hF7w-ESp7lRWO-3BKNjl6TB3DhVQakvaMnLycBZ9a3sU3ujIZfcJFBx_pFB9oA5C2Epmz3Eu42iG1-_qKEcTx3Ir22DC5p1eCggEmInU9iqrBu_JWcAuyP3F30XmRcnEPC269/s400/070710_toilets2_0.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 365px;" /></a><br /><br />Now comes news that the city has opened the world's largest restroom. The four-story, 1,000-stall facility features TVs, a soothing soundtrack piped throughout, crocodile- and Virgin Mary-themed urinals, and stalls with no roofs for those who prefer to relieve themselves al fresco. Says a local government official:<br /><br /><i>"We are spreading toilet culture.... After they use the bathroom [people] will be very, very happy." </i><br /><br />You can't argue with that. <br><br>
