Recently, a Portuguese artist presented a collage featuring rabbits made from waste material from the streets of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, resulting in relief-like images. The collage, entitled Half Rabbit, is an imposing, 10-meter-high work of art. As an expression of street art, it was created by the artist Bordallo II with the help of the nonprofit art group, Mistaker Maker.

Located on the protruding corner of a building, the artwork features a rabbit, which on one side of the wall is bright and colorful, and on the other drab shades of browns and grays. It was designed to raise awareness of the environment by drawing the attention to the amount of waste people discard.

Zhang Yiwu, professor of the Department of Chinese and director of the Cultural Resources Research Center at Peking University, said in a previous interview with China News Service that the world's common understanding of the "Chinese concept" stems from both the nature of the festival itself and the rise of China.
