Beacon of creativity

The China Academy of Art, one of the most prestigious cradles for artists in the country, turns 90 this year. Wang Kaihao speaks to Xu Jiang, its director, about his plans.

Xu Jiang, director of the China Academy of Art, rushed to Zhejiang's provincial capital Hangzhou, from Beijing on Thursday after the end of the first session of 13th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee.

This was because the CPPCC National Committee member had an urgent photo shoot to attend.
