The girl dressed in old green uniform has become the symbol of Qi Zhilong¡¯s art. From the general viewpoint, this symbol is regarded as the combination of the Culture Revolution spirit and the current modern girls. In fact, as a young artist born in 1960s, the Culture Revolution could not impress him so much. It was the revival of the Culture Revolution fashion at the mid of 1980s¡¯ which gave the artist direct experience of creation. In 1980s¡¯, the old green uniform became a sign of courage, truth, sublimity and justice of new time young men. In this Marilyn Monroe and Cadette, the face of the oriental girl dressed in old green uniform was created according to the current aesthetic criteria, which forms a dramatic contradiction and fantastic effect with the injection of Marilyn Monroe¡¯s American pop culture image.
