John Davis (16 September 1936 – 17 October 1999) was an Australian sculptor and pioneer of Environmental art.
Born in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, he studied at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Caulfield institute of technology and Melbourne Teachers College before becoming a lecturer at Prahran College of Advanced Education.
An Australian exponent of Arte povera, he famously developed a new mode of Site-specific art at the Mildura Sculpture Triennial in the early 1970s. His most influential work, which was entitled Tree Piece, was made by encasing the trunks of several growing trees on the banks of the Murray River with, alternately, papier mache, mud, latex, coiled string, plastic cling wrap, and twigs bound together. The impermanent work was then allowed to weather and rot away. It was a breakthrough which lead many sculptors to reconsider the fate of outdoor works, and whether the fabrication of art might in some way adversely impact on the environment.

However, the difference in their family background and personalities caused them to part way with each other. After their separation, Yun Jin discovered that she was pregnant with Cheng Zheng’s baby but later lost the child. Because of the miscarriage she was diagnosed that she could no longer be pregnant. Being a stubborn girl she was, she did not tell Cheng Zheng about the news. A few years later, Yun Jin established a successful career and Cheng Zheng reappeared in her life.

Dawn comes up so young, dreams begin so young
And if you live just for today the day may soon be done
But there's a place where dreams always stay so young
A place to hear the sun go down and fade away
To see the wind just run away with yesterday
Anyplace for those who care Zabriskie Point is anywhere
Time runs out so fast on love too good to last,so young
A time to look forever's there or never found
To touch the sky and really feel the world go round
To live to love to laugh to cry to be alone
Young,so young love was meant to be wild and free
So young young,so young love is space in life
A place in time a state of mind too late I find
