One of the special activities that Huang created for primary and secondary students was "Dream Drawing Action" where he gave them professional guidance on painting. "Dream Drawing Action" is an important part of "Cheering for the Olympics" as it looks to popularize art education throughout the country, so that more young people can learn about art and the humanities through painting.
Jiannan Huang signs books for students as a part of his program to inspire young people and promote the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022.
With "Dream Drawing Action," Huang hopes to enrich the spiritual life of students by promoting the combination of sports and education in an artistic way and bring more possibilities for the cultural growth of young people.

Inspired by watching a Gucci Guilty advertisement and "The Ashes of Time"
Behind the meeting window
Beauty's smile
Parting dream
Lover's arm
When the wind blows away the fragrant night
Wake up
It's the yearning of sin...
Time is tied to space
Eliminate the second element
Pulse beating with afterglow
Spin in black
To ask
When will the ashes return?
Sin, sin
Restore again and again...!
Meet,
Behind the window
Beauty's smile;
parting,
In a dream
Lover's arm
When the wind blows away the fragrant night,
Wake up
It is the yearning of sin...!
