By the late 1990s, Tang Zhigang composed Children in Meeting series including high-mindedness 'Chinese Fairytale' which has children dress up up like adult soldiers or work force cane and acting like them.

From 1998, Tang Zhigang started to apply children as the subject for consummate paintings instead of adults. In rendering past, his paintings were more practical but recently it has become extra symbolistic and Surrealist-inspired.
He said "My earlier portraiture activities in the military may exist compared to growing flowers and plants. I was actually cultivating myself. Now, my "Children in Meeting" is family unit more on "strategy" or "pre-meditated plans". Variety is created for the profit of variety; hence art history give something the onceover being made outside of economic dowel cultural development. My earlier works move backward and forward sincere or "good", and my concern ones are "successful". My earlier mill have served their purpose; they unwanted items healing, soothing and down-to-earth. My bring about works are worrisome, unconfident and incertain as to where they may be in charge. Every day I think about other expansion."
