Under the one-child policy, modern people are the only children in their family, living in an over-protected world. All things are dealt with by our parents. We can hardly feel the sense of reality which however can be felt in the virtual world. In turn, we somehow feel virtual in the real world, leading to the alienation of relationships among each of us. We all live in our own little space, thinking that this is the whole world. Living in the greenhouse fully protected by our parents or society is like living in a pink cage where our parents feed us with both care and pressure to become successful people. We seem to have nothing to worry about being like flowers living in such a greenhouse, however we are actually full of stress, helplessness and loneliness. In the confrontation between love and oppression, the power of our inner resistance has to be internalized, resulting in a high rate of mental illness in modern society. Like flowers in the greenhouse, we are vulnerable and dreamy. Marx (1845) once said, “The essence of man is the ensemble of the social relations[ The saying comes from the Article 6 of the Thesis on Feuerbach, where Marx explains the essence of man for the second time. ]”. What I want to explore is the influence of the social and living environment in the name of love on the psychological states of modern people. This paper is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the motivation, the choice of theme, the media materials and the manifestation based on my background while the second part analyses the works in detail, list the development and tendency of the works in different stages, figure out the social environment behind each work as well as my own feelings, thoughts and reflections. In the outline of the paper, the introduction starts from my observation and reflection based on my growing background as well as figuring out the relationship between my growing background and the social environment. The first chapter states the motivation, aim and methodology of my research, and also deducts the psychological states and thoughts of the modern society of modern people who also grow up under the China's one-child policy like the author herself. The second chapter discusses the special personalities of modern people. Living in the greenhouse created by our parents and society, we also have to accept the rules set by them. That is to accept the pressure of living up to their expectations while enjoy the care and protection they give. We seem to have nothing to worry about being like flowers living in such a greenhouse, however we are actually full of stress, helplessness and loneliness. The third chapter analyses the aesthetics of the works and the elements of the images. The fourth chapter gives a systematic analysis of the style and form of the works, as well as the cohesion and transformation from the early stage to the middle and later stages. Finally, the fifth chapter makes a conclusion, predicts the development and tendency reflected in the works and gives some future prospects. This paper gets my thoughts into shape, provides readers with a guidance of reading works while understanding the creators. In addition, it presents a contradiction between the comfort the “greenhouse” brings to us and the anxiety and panic cause by the real society. With the above-mentioned perception, this paper also shows solicitude for modern people and society, for which I look forward to the further development and improvement.
