On December 23, 2022, the year-end special event of the Light Plan Public Welfare "Be the Light" was held at the Beijing Times Art Museum, and the Chinese Children's Charity Association, as the public welfare support unit for this event, provided fully supporting. On that day, many loving people, supporters and representatives of many benevolence enterprises came and enjoyed the celebration of 18-year-old adult ceremony of Wang Jianshu, a autistic young man.

On the event, with the leading of the host Zhang Zequn, all the guests witnessed the coming-of-age ceremony of a "star teenager" and listened to his growth story over the past 18 years. The teenager, Wang Jianshu (Kyle), was born in June 2004 and diagnosed with autism at the age of 5. After numerous attempts and perseverance over the years, Jianshu began to "fight the sword to the end of the world" in his painting world, and his paintings have become a key for us to enter his inner world. In the following years of growth, Wang Jianshu won many international painting and art awards, and his works were also collected by the United Nations Office in Central Africa and many museums and art galleries.

The exhibition presents three themes of "darkness", "color" and "brightness", from which the outside world glimpses a corner of the life of a special group, and finds the light emitted by the "the son of star"-on the eve of the arrival of light, because of "darkness", the light of stars is more precious. In the sunshine, the stars seem to be missing at this time, but in fact they have merged into the sky, bathing in the world's profusion. Every ardent hope gathers into the power of light, which will eventually break through the darkness and be dazzling. And we can feel the power of light in every work of the sword book.

The special event also invited Huang Xiaoyan, deputy general manager of Cultural Tourism Group in Pingtan, Fujian Comprehensive Experimental Zone, former founder of Artifeng, deputy dean of the New Education Research Institute, director of the Organizing Committee of the New Youth Art Education Festival and artist Wang Gengfei. Xing Yuxuan, director of the Culture and Sports Department of the Chinese Children's Charity Association and project leader of the Autism Platform (Star Alliance), and Wang Tianye, representatives of founder of Anaya Ma Yin, Anaya Art Director, as guests of discussion, conducted in-depth discussions on the "combination and development of public welfare with art brut" on the spot, and appealed to all sectors of society to love people. In order to closely link China's art burt with public welfare, and bring it to a larger international stage, so that the world can see China's vigorous development in the field of art.

During the discussion, Ms. Huang Xiaoyan mentioned that at present, art brut has formed a consensus art form in the field of world-wide art, but it has not yet entered a certain scale and mainstream contemporary art space like "Beijing Times Art Museum" in China. The first Chinese art brut creation base was founded in Nanjing. With the support of the Disabled Persons' Federation, it holds art brut exhibitions and exchanges all the year round, but they are all hosted by some small galleries and art spaces. Chinese art collectors have not yet systematically paid attention to the collection of art brut in this field. From these perspectives, the exhibition of sword books and paintings held by the Light Plan has a special significance in the history of contemporary Chinese art. It means that art brut has begun to receive systematic attention in China, which is a beautiful beginning of great historical significance.

On the evening of the event, the host Zhang Zequn mentioned in his summary that the greatest value of Kyle’s Adult Ceremony is that it conveys the value concept of "one person in need of help can also help more people". We also hope that through the collection and interpretation of Kyle’s art works, we can pay attention to those autistic children like Kyle use to be, and then appeal to the public to pay attention to, understand and help the original art creation groups.

2.Art Brut Opens a New Chapter of Future Life for Special Groups

On June 1, 2022, the Light Plan Public Welfare Project was officially launched. In line with the core goal of improving the future social survival ability of autistic children and making the sons of stars have a happy and wholeness life, this project starts from helping the families of autistic children, through the scientific, soft and effective way of "art healing" to improve the ability of autistic children to adapt to social life, and to explore the artistic potential of Autistic children.

3. Light Plan Will Keep On Going

In the future, Light Plan will continue to promote the application of art healing teaching methods in the field of special education training as the core, and light up "the sons of stars" from individual, family and social levels:

Focusing on autistic children, the Light Plan Project will uphold the art brut concept and the attitude of "talent" protection, promote the integration of art healing teaching methods into the daily training courses for autistic children, let art enter the lives of autistic children, and improve the effectiveness of professional companionship of autistic trainers and parents. For autistic families, the project will jointly build a healthy family growth environment for autistic children. Taking society as a scenario, the Light Plan Project is dedicated to providing families with autistic children with opportunities to improve their basic life.

In addition, the Light Plan Public Welfare Project will continue to collect paintings produced in various art healing courses, collect works of autistic children, adolescents and young people for the society, and invite professional art galleries to jointly carry out a series of exhibitions. Further, the Light Plan Public Welfare Project will gradually contact international art and cultural exchange organizations, and strive to show the soft power of Chinese culture in a more distinctive way.

Create a happy living environment for "Star Sons" and Ligh Plan public welfare will keep on going.
