我是人类，我的邻居是人类，但是人类的邻居不只有人类。在青藏高原上，人类的邻居是棕熊，这听起来是件好事还是坏事呢？

一方面，这说明生物多样性丰富，保护生物学家们乐了，他们多年禁止捕猎和恢复生态的努力有结果了。另一方面，棕熊开始跑到人类的房子里来寻找食物，对人类的生命造成了威胁，带来了极大的心理恐惧。

I am human, and my neighbors are human, but humans don’t only have other humans as neighbors. On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, humans share their neighborhood with brown bears. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

On the one hand, it indicates rich biodiversity, which delights conservation biologists—their years of efforts to ban hunting and restore ecosystems have borne fruit. On the other hand, brown bears have begun venturing into human settlements in search of food, posing a threat to human lives and causing significant psychological fear.

2026年5月31日，上海星河湾双语学校迎来第133期沙龙——黄承钰艺术展“如果你的邻居是棕熊。”本次沙龙于星河湾综合楼二楼画廊举办，由包叶舟老师和李沐丰老师指导。

当地球和牧民之间的利益相反，当牧民和棕熊之间产生冲突，如何化解？人类和棕熊可以达到共存的状态吗？真正的共存又是什么样的呢？

On May 31, 2026, Shanghai Star River Bay Bilingual School hosted its 133rd salon—Huang Chengyu’s art exhibition titled “If Your Neighbor Were a Brown Bear.” The event took place in the gallery on the second floor of the Star River Bay Complex and was led by teachers Bao Yezhou and Li Mufeng.

When the interests of the Earth and herders clash, and when conflicts arise between herders and brown bears, how can these be resolved? Can humans and brown bears achieve a state of coexistence? And what does true coexistence actually look like?

作为大自然纪录片从小看到大的人，当黄承钰有机会去青海进行研究棕熊时，她就迫不及待地出发了。在青海进行田野调查的那段时间里，她差一点就见到棕熊了。

那是一个早上，当她还在睡梦中时，早起的同行者突然接到了消息，说附近有一只棕熊的头卡在酥油罐头里了。他们立刻开车出发，从远处见证了这一幕。

问题来了：棕熊的头怎么会卡在酥油罐头里呢？这其实就是人和棕熊的冲突的典型例子——棕熊进入牧民的家里、偷吃了他们的食物、带来了经济损失。

但是，冲突没有在这里停下，更严重的是棕熊近些年对于人命的威胁。在2025年的暑假，有一户牧民被棕熊吃了，留下了一家11口孩子。

Having grown up watching nature documentaries, She couldn’t wait to set out when she had the opportunity to conduct research on brown bears in Qinghai. During her fieldwork there, she almost got to see a brown bear.

It was one morning, while she was still asleep, that an early-rising colleague suddenly received word that a brown bear’s head was stuck in a can of butter. They immediately drove out and witnessed the scene from a distance.

The question arises: How did the brown bear’s head get stuck in a can of butter? This is actually a classic example of human-brown bear conflict—the bear entered a herder’s home, stole their food, and caused economic losses.

But the conflict didn’t stop there; what’s even more serious is the threat brown bears have posed to human lives in recent years. During the summer of 2025, a herding family was killed by a brown bear, leaving behind 11 children.

“你可能会觉得青海发生的这一切与你无关，但是不是的。保护棕熊是服务于全国的生物多样性的，但是这之中的风险和代价却都由青藏高原的牧民来承担。作为城市人，我们其实享受了这其中的好处，却对牧民们的牺牲毫不知情，所以我想要弥补这之中的信息差。”

基于发生的这一系列事件，黄承钰创作了一首诗歌、一本绘本、一些风马旗，形成了本次的艺术沙龙，希望青海牧民的声音被听见、他们所经历的一切被看见。

"You might think that what’s happening in Qinghai has nothing to do with you, but that’s not the case. Protecting brown bears serves the nation’s biodiversity, yet the risks and costs are borne entirely by the herders of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. As city dwellers, we actually benefit from this, yet remain completely unaware of the sacrifices made by the herders. That is why I want to bridge this information gap."

Inspired by this series of events, she created a poem, a picture book, and some prayer flags, which together form this art salon. I hope that the voices of Qinghai’s herders will be heard and that their experiences will be seen.”
