Three Gorges Dam Migration consists of sections of woodblock prints. This section depicts large-scale migration caused by the construction of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in Sichuan, Central China. To achieve full color, more than five hundred woodblocks were used, and the printing and mounting were completed at Rongbaozhai studio in Beijing. Born in Beijing, Ji Yunfei began to paint at the age of ten. He graduated in 1982 from the China Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. In 1986, he relocated to the United States and has resided in New York since 1990.
