From 1998 to 2003, Xiao Lu lived in Hangzhou. In 2002, after reading Freudian psychology, she began to understand more clearly the profound psychological effects of her youth, her inability to face up to her #MeToo experience and the trauma behind Dialogue. She also began to confront the long-standing misattribution of the work and its authorship. In 2003, she publicly addressed the issue through 15 Gunshots… From 1989 to 2003 （15槍……從1989到2003）.

About Fifteen Shots…From 1989 to 2003
Love,
The sky Knows.
Hate,
The earth Knows,
Without love;
Without hate,
The devil knows.
I am no good at theoretical explanation, and even worse at talking about art, all I know is real life. As a work, its from, for me, is just an internal necessity. It can be a painting or a poem. Perhaps it requires a gun. All of this is decided by your own psychological tendencies, your disposition. This is not anything that can be explained by the word “art”, but rather a survival instinct, your very lift.
