One of his most popular works, Propagator in the Darkness, is heavily centred around the idea of transience and depicts a skeleton yelling through a megaphone from the inside of a bell – Qiu has commented on this piece and explained: “No one can see him or hear him...For me this is about sounds disappearing, about the past disappearing.”

« I don't only teach art history, i also have a course about Chinese social thought »

Zhijie’s work has also taken form through calligraphy-based practice; one of his most notable works saw him recreating a 4th-century Chinese calligraphic work around 4000 times on one piece of paper across the course of seven years.
