If there's one thing Han Bing knows how to do, it is to make a statement. The Chinese artist has been walking a cabbage on a leash for the past decade in a bid to show the value we place on materialistic things. 

Eccentric as it may sound, Bing and his cabbage have caused debate on societal values. The cabbage was once considered a symbol of wealth in China, particularly when it was in full stock. However, advances in technology have resulted in the cabbage being cast aside as more luxury items like mobile phones and computers have taken its place.

Despite the material wealth that is prevalent in China, for many the cabbage still exists as a staple dietary bottom line. 

Bing believes it is the value structure within China that dictates what - and who - is valuable or worthless and he attempts to challenge these societal notions.
