But an ambivalence about his burgeoning homeland courses through his art. On the one hand, there's his 1998 piece Borrowing Your Enemy's Arrows--a wooden boat flying a Chinese flag and pierced by hundreds of arrows. It has its sources in the story of a 3rd century Chinese general who had to gather arrows before a battle and did it by surprising the enemy with a predawn flotilla manned by straw sailors.
