The high prevalence of scoliosis in China is a consequence of the heavy academic stress of the Chinese education system. In order to criticize the alienation of knowledge acquisition in this system, I produced an experimental publication with the theme of a knowledge acquisition certificate. I used the illustration of a bent spine to depict the distorted way of acquiring knowledge in the system I grew up in. Through re-examining the visual memory of the group, I created an absurd visual impact that satirizes the concept of “Descendants of the Dragon.”
