In this work, two scholar's rocks drawn with fine lines and dots are juxtaposed with the red neon tubes. For Leung, the scholar’s rocks represent the Chinese literati culture of the past, while those lines represent today's digital elements and the Internet. The red neon tubes are prominently arranged at the centre of the work to create an ambiguous spatial relation and a sense of modernity to the more traditional motif of scholar's rocks.
