Liang Xianghua， a 22﹣year﹣old girl from Guangxi University， has been well﹣known in China for her sand painting since her first work was used by CCTV．

    "Sand paintings really attracted me while I was watching a video performance． I was surprised by how this artwork melted people's heart in minutes，" said Liang． "I fell in love with the way the sand pictures， music and the light combined（ 融合）with each other to make a flow of emotion（情感） You can express things freely．"

    In order to master the skills， Liang practised for several hours every day． she said that she couldn't even do the first step well of throwing sand onto the glass， But she didn' t give up．

    After finding success with her first show， she was invited to do many performances． This made her quite tired． She decided to give a stop and focus on her study． But an invitation from Malaysia changed her mind just as she was about to wash the sand from her hands． This spring，she was invited by a Malaysia middle school to give a performance． Liang didn't want to do a live

show， but agreed to do a video for the school showing its development over the years．

    She received praise for her work and the performance was described as an eye﹣opener for the students． This made her wonder if her art would be more meaningful if she made it for the poor students．
