Meng lived in China from 1924 – 1990, when he moved to Seattle with his son. His career in China as set designer for theaters and movies was ended by the Revolution. Here, he said, Everyday, I walk around the streets of my neighborhood in the International District, collecting materials to create my art. What I know best is working with my hands and doing art. . . I like to make people laugh and I like to laugh myself.
