A sculpture exhibition in Beijing is exploring the cultural dimension of family names in China. The exhibition, which runs at the Overseas Chinese History Museum until 21 July, consists of 101 bronze sculptures designed by Li Tinggui showing different character forms. Those numbers have not changed much over the past 1,000 years. In one piece, a woman with her husband and children sits on a chair while holding their names.
