Artist and professor Chen Xi, alongside her student Li Linlin, embarked on a joint exhibition in Beijing, delving into the profound impact of an art teacher on their students' creative endeavors. Through their dual showcases at Beijing's Phoenix Center, titled Jump Into A Rabbit Hole: Chen Xi and Her Students and Echo: Dedicated to Alice, the duo presented a diverse array of paintings, sculptures, and installations, illuminating the transformative journey from classroom to gallery space.

Chen, a distinguished art professor from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, drew inspiration from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, symbolically portraying the White Rabbit beckoning Alice into the rabbit hole. This imagery signifies the gateway that opens for students under the guidance of a teacher, leading them into a vibrant and colorful world.
