The project began during the regeneration of a public park in Renli Village, Ziyang, China. While the park was being transformed, I started thinking about the relationship between human activity and the non-human life that already existed there. Birds, insects, wind and other living organisms all contribute to the soundscape of the park, yet we rarely stop to listen to them. Rather than making a work about nature, I wanted to create a way for people to reconnect with it through listening. The title Another World refers to the sonic world that surrounds us every day but usually goes unnoticed. Listening through the horn reveals distant and subtle sounds that would otherwise disappear into the background. Conversations, birds, insects, wind and echoes suddenly become present, making a familiar place feel completely different. The horn acts as a portal—not to a fictional world, but to one that has always existed alongside our own. At the same time, its unusual form makes it appear as if it could have arrived from somewhere else, reinforcing this idea visually. <img width="1125" height="1500" width_o="1125" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8654e34e15c1084d1ab71633527bc217eb24d7a2e9bd98bdaed5422559cdb168/IMG_8059-2_small.jpg" data-mid="250334901" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8654e34e15c1084d1ab71633527bc217eb24d7a2e9bd98bdaed5422559cdb168/IMG_8059-2_small.jpg" /> <img width="1125" height="1500" width_o="1125" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cead8f89b28338b0f6d35b8a147a2a9fd9cc7f3e2bf248d19ff97dc2054ef5b6/IMG_7994_small.jpg" data-mid="250334854" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cead8f89b28338b0f6d35b8a147a2a9fd9cc7f3e2bf248d19ff97dc2054ef5b6/IMG_7994_small.jpg" /> The horn can be experienced in many different ways. It functions as a listening device, allowing visitors to explore the constantly changing soundscape of the park. It can also be used to speak, sing or make sounds, extending the reach of the human voice across the landscape. Because of its size and shape, the horn has its own acoustic character. Rather than simply amplifying sound, it transforms it, giving voices and instruments a distinctive resonance that feels unfamiliar. It is particularly effective as a listening device. Quiet and distant sounds become surprisingly clear, revealing details that would otherwise remain hidden. Every season, every visitor, every bird, insect and gust of wind contributes to an ever-changing composition, meaning that every listening experience is different. The work has many layers, but it does not require visitors to understand its conceptual background. Some people become fascinated by listening to distant sounds, while others simply enjoy shouting into the horn, hearing their voices transformed, communicating across the park or climbing inside the sculpture. There is no single correct way to experience it. Curiosity and play are just as important as reflection. One of the most rewarding aspects of the project is seeing how naturally people engage with it. Whenever I visit the sculpture, it is almost always being used. Children and adults instinctively begin exploring it, discovering their own ways of interacting with it. <img width="1014" height="1466" width_o="1014" height_o="1466" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e639952dd8395140d8ebcc8c03f0a35f6bca42de10b3ecdbeef9b5127efdbf05/horn_performance_02.jpg" data-mid="250988622" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e639952dd8395140d8ebcc8c03f0a35f6bca42de10b3ecdbeef9b5127efdbf05/horn_performance_02.jpg" /> <img width="1014" height="1466" width_o="1014" height_o="1466" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2ede238149b741b17da563c86f39282d888148fbb13b9a1c66fe69d8dfe6b39a/horn_performance_01.jpg" data-mid="250988623" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2ede238149b741b17da563c86f39282d888148fbb13b9a1c66fe69d8dfe6b39a/horn_performance_01.jpg" /> During the opening of the project, I performed with two other musicians in front of the horn, using it as a natural amplifier. This performance revealed another dimension of the work. The sculpture became an active sonic object that shaped the music through its unique acoustics. Instead of functioning as a passive sculpture, it became an instrument in itself. Familiar voices and instruments were transformed into something strange and immersive, strengthening the feeling that the horn had become a portal to another world. Since its installation I have also used the horn extensively for field recording. It has become a research tool that allows me to explore the environment by listening rather than looking. Recording through the horn reveals quiet and distant sounds that would otherwise remain unnoticed, producing recordings with a distinctive acoustic character. I see the sculpture not only as an artwork but as an open tool. I am interested in how other artists, musicians and sound recordists might use it in ways I have not imagined. The work can continue to evolve through the people who interact with it. <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4a9791f02ee283132498190f54043d85e5803aac4f2818b184d062c0698b8ab7/IMG_7952-2_small.jpg" data-mid="250334849" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4a9791f02ee283132498190f54043d85e5803aac4f2818b184d062c0698b8ab7/IMG_7952-2_small.jpg" /> The design of the horn developed through a series of simple cardboard prototypes and conversations with acoustic specialists about how its size and shape might influence its acoustic behaviour. Although there was not enough time for extensive technical research, these experiments informed the final design. I modelled the horn in Blender before collaborating with architect Erica Linares, who translated the model into architectural drawings suitable for local production in China. <img width="2000" height="2667" width_o="2000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ddc79a1d6425682ef5e5e4aba65aac8a788784ce3b4ec02595faa34b87c9cd5/IMG_7918-2_small.jpg" data-mid="250334847" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ddc79a1d6425682ef5e5e4aba65aac8a788784ce3b4ec02595faa34b87c9cd5/IMG_7918-2_small.jpg" /> <img width="1125" height="1500" width_o="1125" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/21b3d138bb4cd36a545721d69653063d39d5420c8d4f179b2b2bd86d451131d1/IMG_7939_small.jpg" data-mid="250334846" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/21b3d138bb4cd36a545721d69653063d39d5420c8d4f179b2b2bd86d451131d1/IMG_7939_small.jpg" /> Wood was originally the preferred material because of its acoustic qualities, but budget constraints made this impossible. The final sculpture was constructed from fibreglass with a steel supporting structure. Fabricating the work remotely presented significant challenges. The production was coordinated from a distance with the help of a local assistant who documented the process and communicated with the fabricators. Working across languages, cultures and time zones required constant collaboration, making the successful realisation of the sculpture a significant achievement. When the finished horn arrived at the park by truck, I personally supervised its installation. The sculpture measures 10 metres in length, reaches 3 metres at its highest point and weighs approximately 500 kilograms. It is constructed from fibreglass with a steel supporting structure. Its blue colour was inspired by a small blue building standing in the neighbouring strawberry fields. Another World was commissioned by the DNBeta community in Renli Village, Ziyang, China. <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/101a89ac89daac7fc7bc66083b2554083e81fa2839246ed394b86b8186979bf5/IMG_7913-2_small.jpg" data-mid="250334845" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/101a89ac89daac7fc7bc66083b2554083e81fa2839246ed394b86b8186979bf5/IMG_7913-2_small.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7a098d14056d5755cb7a369acae5a986dc94d6a8d294aee62a073a1cc9c04894/92a7fc59e6416bacaab8940c5ee5e60b-4.JPG" data-mid="250334832" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7a098d14056d5755cb7a369acae5a986dc94d6a8d294aee62a073a1cc9c04894/92a7fc59e6416bacaab8940c5ee5e60b-4.JPG" /> <img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8c60e38c46f991e42233354a293b383d978270fa21f6314120d60faeb93dfd2/AE3A747C-E314-42E5-892D-51442F470657-2.JPG" data-mid="250334817" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8c60e38c46f991e42233354a293b383d978270fa21f6314120d60faeb93dfd2/AE3A747C-E314-42E5-892D-51442F470657-2.JPG" /> <img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e0b2bf92fd3c531700aec89fb24759f9357403f75a7814b2324c26277445a374/AE3A747C-E314-42E5-892D-51442F470657-2_crop.jpg" data-mid="250334820" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e0b2bf92fd3c531700aec89fb24759f9357403f75a7814b2324c26277445a374/AE3A747C-E314-42E5-892D-51442F470657-2_crop.jpg" /> https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/New-Dark-Aesthetics Wed, 05 Aug 2026 21:53:10 +0000 Bleepsworld https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/New-Dark-Aesthetics New Dark Aesthetics: The Bats Project by Nestor Pestana The Bats Project is part of New Dark Aesthetics, an investigation into how species such as bats have been portrayed in Western popular culture and how these representations shape our perception of them. Drawing on examples from cinema and videogames, the project questions portrayals that privilege horror, fear, and eradication while overlooking ecological relevance. Through collaborations with ecological experts, artists, and local communities, the project explores new ways of experiencing and imagining bats. Nestor Pestana invited me to create a sound work for The Bats Project. Having heard my previous sound pieces, he was interested in how my approach to synthesis could be used to explore the sonic world of bats. Working from a collection of bat recordings supplied by the project, I analysed and reconstructed their vocalisations through analogue synthesis. Rather than aiming for exact reproductions, I was interested in creating sounds that existed somewhere between recognition and imagination. These synthetic bat calls formed the basis of a sound composition, accompanied by subtle environmental sounds that created a mysterious atmosphere. <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b4b5a1389ce00220bab0adcaa14dadae5c7b03ca4e4d553ac789c6f9dfa434e8/orleans_house_gallery.jpg" data-mid="251004615" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b4b5a1389ce00220bab0adcaa14dadae5c7b03ca4e4d553ac789c6f9dfa434e8/orleans_house_gallery.jpg" /> Following the completion of the sound work, I was invited to participate in The Bats Project: Conversation on Darkness, Bats, and Poetry, held on 2 August 2025 at Orleans House Gallery in Twickenham, London. The event brought together artist Nestor Pestana, writer Noam Toran, poet Briony Hughes, bat expert Stephanie Holt, and myself for a conversation exploring darkness, bats, ecology, and poetry. For the performance, I developed a live version of the sound piece using the bat recordings alongside my synthesised material. I performed together with Briony Hughes, responding live to her poetry reading through sound. Although we had never rehearsed together beforehand, the performance worked particularly well and I’m hoping to collaborate more with Briony in the future. <img width="2000" height="1137" width_o="2000" height_o="1137" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f68b3ae2aef99fe94c957a0ea6704ee2711c57fcb02f5c6fac6fcb28766b5b98/utkarsh_pathak_illustration_02.jpg" data-mid="251005366" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f68b3ae2aef99fe94c957a0ea6704ee2711c57fcb02f5c6fac6fcb28766b5b98/utkarsh_pathak_illustration_02.jpg" /> Illustration above made by&nbsp;Utkarsh Pathak, commissioned by Nestor Pestana https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/Stridulation Sun, 12 Jul 2026 22:11:41 +0000 Bleepsworld https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/Stridulation Stridulation (Synthesised Crickets)Stridulation is an ambisonic sound installation that forms part of an ongoing research project exploring the reconstruction of natural sounds through synthesis and the sonic possibilities of multichannel loudspeaker configurations, creating sonic environments that sit at the edge of reality and, in doing so, reshape our perception of and relationship with nature. <img width="1125" height="1500" width_o="1125" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/107abe0b7d149e227e031b761e7db63c9a8d5c554781435813d3b145276173a3/IMG_3414_small.jpg" data-mid="250352493" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/107abe0b7d149e227e031b761e7db63c9a8d5c554781435813d3b145276173a3/IMG_3414_small.jpg" /> <img width="1125" height="1500" width_o="1125" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8783baef79dacf7191052fac76c569d0c996d9c9f4c0affa3a693925c1071338/IMG_3396_small.jpg" data-mid="250352494" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8783baef79dacf7191052fac76c569d0c996d9c9f4c0affa3a693925c1071338/IMG_3396_small.jpg" /> Developed during an art residency at DNBeta in Ziyang, China, the project began with an encounter with local crickets whose calls differed significantly from those I was accustomed to hearing in Europe. The unfamiliarity of these sounds initiated a process of focused listening and field recording. Using these recordings as a point of departure, I analysed the rhythms and timbral qualities of the crickets' calls and attempted to reconstruct them through analog synthesis using a Music Thing Modular Workshop System synthesiser. Through frequency modulation with sine and square waves, alongside filter and resonance modulation, I sought to approximate the rhythms and timbral qualities of the original insect calls. Crickets produce sound through a process known as stridulation, generating rhythmic impulses that are amplified by resonant structures in their wings. This process provided a useful framework for exploring the reconstruction of insect calls through analog synthesis, drawing parallels with the ways oscillation, modulation, and resonance can generate complex sonic textures. <img width="1000" height="1295" width_o="1000" height_o="1295" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8497f39c3184b8e7ead7230764d6b4d9b7c176f3b0fefa7e02d8251226b53823/IMG_9540_crop_small.jpg" data-mid="250375518" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8497f39c3184b8e7ead7230764d6b4d9b7c176f3b0fefa7e02d8251226b53823/IMG_9540_crop_small.jpg" /> <img width="1000" height="1295" width_o="1000" height_o="1295" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8fa1557aff51cf7d3840591a514bce4947144d7cd964dd2dff9502d721df2696/IMG_3594_small.jpg" data-mid="250375500" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8fa1557aff51cf7d3840591a514bce4947144d7cd964dd2dff9502d721df2696/IMG_3594_small.jpg" /> The process of reconstruction is never exact. In attempting to imitate these insect calls, new and unexpected sonic forms emerged. These forms remain closely related to their natural origins while simultaneously becoming something else—something that seems to exist and yet might not. Originally composed as a four-minute stereo piece, the work has evolved into an ambisonic sound installation. Presented in a darkened space that evokes the atmosphere of night, audiences are surrounded by spatialised cricket-like sounds. The absence of visual information encourages deep listening and allows listeners to construct their own imagined environments, filling in the gaps between what is heard and what is perceived. Constructed from numerous interwoven layers of sound, the composition loops seamlessly and evolves gradually over time. Individual elements emerge, recede, and interact with one another, behaving less like a linear composition and more like a sonic ecosystem. The resulting work creates a believable but artificial sonic ecosystem derived from the acoustic behaviours of real insects. By immersing audiences within this environment, the installation invites reflection on our relationship with non-human life and leaves open questions about what is natural and what is constructed, what constitutes an authentic encounter with nature, and whether artificial ecologies might become future sites through which we experience the natural world. https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/Chengdu-Academy-of-Fine-Arts Sun, 09 Aug 2026 21:54:12 +0000 Bleepsworld https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/Chengdu-Academy-of-Fine-Arts Guest Lecture at Chengdu Academy of Fine Arts&nbsp; https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/Hidden-Sounds Sat, 11 Jul 2026 11:19:22 +0000 Bleepsworld https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/Hidden-Sounds Hidden Sounds (at CCC Chengdu)The Hidden Sound Workshop invites participants to discover the hidden world of electromagnetic sound in a fun and engaging way.

By projecting these sounds into the courtyard, the work invites visitors to reconsider their relationship with the building and to reflect on how its function has changed over time. <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/895704e9b665f93c51450bdd34d9f3afa50b5dc0f12b6073af4c8588f0675873/IMG_5755.JPG" data-mid="250107169" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/895704e9b665f93c51450bdd34d9f3afa50b5dc0f12b6073af4c8588f0675873/IMG_5755.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e62c6a3518f912319e4d62b233b269b6f07428a2b77a404417d144dcefbfbbcf/IMG_5764.JPG" data-mid="250107170" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e62c6a3518f912319e4d62b233b269b6f07428a2b77a404417d144dcefbfbbcf/IMG_5764.JPG" /> The installation consists of five TOA horn loudspeakers mounted around the perimeter of the courtyard, all directed towards its centre. Their focus is Peter Dobroschke's sculptural stage. Rather than placing a physical object on the stage, the sound piece itself becomes the sculptural intervention. Each loudspeaker plays its own independent soundtrack. Every soundtrack has a different duration and loops continuously, so the relationship between the five channels is constantly changing. The piece is composed so that every possible combination of sounds works together. Most of the time only one or two loudspeakers are active, although there are moments when more speakers overlap and other moments when nothing is heard at all. Because each loop has a different duration, the same combination of sounds is unlikely to occur twice during the month-long presentation. The sound levels are carefully adjusted to the existing soundscape of the courtyard so that the work blends into its surroundings rather than dominating them. The existing sounds of the courtyard therefore become part of the composition. <img width="1125" height="1500" width_o="1125" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f0b242cc397a44ea2a3ab21a727b6f18ddbad7c462c79efc6e20a6491a26393a/IMG_5765_small.jpg" data-mid="250328541" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f0b242cc397a44ea2a3ab21a727b6f18ddbad7c462c79efc6e20a6491a26393a/IMG_5765_small.jpg" /> <img width="1125" height="1500" width_o="1125" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/114105039dc7de7fcdb49a39b31661dd1f8f1dc328c264fa1a1c00c3c348961e/IMG_5747_small.jpg" data-mid="250328542" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/114105039dc7de7fcdb49a39b31661dd1f8f1dc328c264fa1a1c00c3c348961e/IMG_5747_small.jpg" /> Uferhallen was originally built in 1873 as a depot and workshop for Berlin's horse-drawn tram network. It later became a maintenance facility for electric trams and eventually the central workshop for BVG buses. Since 2007, the site has been home to artists' studios, workshops, rehearsal spaces and exhibition venues. Inside–Outside responds to this layered history by connecting the building's industrial past with its present use as a place of artistic production. Inside–Outside was commissioned as part of Outsource II, a six-month exhibition programme at Uferhallen in 2023, curated by Antje Blumenstein and Christian Henkel. The project was initiated around Peter Dobroschke's sculptural stage, Entgleiste Wand (Basis-Skulptur), which functioned as a platform for a series of monthly site-specific interventions by invited artists. Alongside my sound installation, the programme included works by Felix Kultau, Layla Nabi, Nicola Staeglich and Anke Völk, Tilman Wendland, Elisabeth Rosenthal and Andrea Pichl.

This lecture focused on my teaching at the Royal College of Art, with particular emphasis on White Noise, the elective course I developed and led. I introduced the teaching framework that formed the basis of the elective: Record – Playback – Feedback. During the&nbsp;Record&nbsp;phase, students experimented with different research methods, exploring what research could be through a range of approaches. In the&nbsp;Playback&nbsp;phase, they transformed their research into experiences, using making and presentation as ways of sharing ideas. The&nbsp;Feedback&nbsp;phase centred on discussion and critique, allowing students to reflect on their work before returning to a new cycle of recording. This iterative process encouraged continuous experimentation and development throughout the course. <img width="1500" height="1125" width_o="1500" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c1831dfffc00e81b9bd613ac2be34d51600ba22a87ceb2e68a3ba4529fbe1173/ronnie_hifa_wuhan_china.jpg" data-mid="251054068" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c1831dfffc00e81b9bd613ac2be34d51600ba22a87ceb2e68a3ba4529fbe1173/ronnie_hifa_wuhan_china.jpg" /> https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/Sichuan-University-Chengdu Fri, 07 Aug 2026 11:12:22 +0000 Bleepsworld https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/Sichuan-University-Chengdu Guest Lecture at Sichuan University, Chengdu, China I was invited to give a guest lecture at Sichuan University as part of the IAIA Master Lecture series. I spoke about my work as a tutor at the Royal College of Art, introducing the elective course I developed there and my teaching approach. I discussed the importance of experimentation, both in the work students produce and in the way I teach. I also shared how I like to move learning beyond the university building by working in different environments, while creating a safe and supportive space in which everyone feels free to take creative risks. The lecture concluded with an introduction to my own artistic practice, focusing on Horn, the sculpture I created for the DNBeta Digital Nomad Community in Ziyang. <img width="1500" height="948" width_o="1500" height_o="948" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/86765a3f0575c254468c1ae6fdd19a33b0c00b666353ac779a13965f183397bc/ronnie_sichuan_poster.jpg" data-mid="251054064" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/86765a3f0575c254468c1ae6fdd19a33b0c00b666353ac779a13965f183397bc/ronnie_sichuan_poster.jpg" /> https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/Horn-as-a-Speaker Wed, 05 Aug 2026 22:42:13 +0000 Bleepsworld https://bleepsworld.cargo.site/Horn-as-a-Speaker Horn as a Speaker (artist in residency) 29 september - 4 October&nbsp; <img width="1500" height="2000" width_o="1500" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1b0bf15c8ffe40c38709e80aab7336822f2c8bcf7131113d09ab979785a47cea/speaker_setup.jpg" data-mid="251048579" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1b0bf15c8ffe40c38709e80aab7336822f2c8bcf7131113d09ab979785a47cea/speaker_setup.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="2000" width_o="1500" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fb26274e3d8f126def49a401f459f0c7deaf43a89d6fe3f5477905bdb9b6e117/horn.jpg" data-mid="251048707" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fb26274e3d8f126def49a401f459f0c7deaf43a89d6fe3f5477905bdb9b6e117/horn.jpg" /> <img width="1706" height="1279" width_o="1706" height_o="1279" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/41a8c005b5893cb3f31f07a84e894af6e47040ae74dc95e89dee6d31c613ec50/ronnie_renli_road_02.JPG" data-mid="251017186" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/41a8c005b5893cb3f31f07a84e894af6e47040ae74dc95e89dee6d31c613ec50/ronnie_renli_road_02.JPG" /> <img width="1706" height="1279" width_o="1706" height_o="1279" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/60c40ad737b941614267b9b61699895d45b23f3a512a414e819775a8d4f5da45/ronnie_renli_road_01.JPG" data-mid="251017187" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/60c40ad737b941614267b9b61699895d45b23f3a512a414e819775a8d4f5da45/ronnie_renli_road_01.JPG" />
