Liang Xianghua， a 22﹣year﹣old girl from Guangxi University， has been well﹣known in China for her sand painting since her first work was used by CCTV．
"Sand paintings really attracted me while I was watching a video performance． I was surprised by how this artwork melted people's heart in minutes，" said Liang． "I fell in love with the way the sand pictures， music and the light combined（ 融合）with each other to make a flow of emotion（情感） You can express things freely．"
In order to master the skills， Liang practised for several hours every day． she said that she couldn't even do the first step well of throwing sand onto the glass， But she didn' t give up．
