Chen Xuehua, after 70, was born in Xiuzhou Village, Zhujing Town. Because she likes the things around her, the content of her paintings also comes from the bits and pieces of life.
Every time you meet something you like, you will remember it in your heart, remember it in your mind, and express the happy bits and pieces in your paintings, this is her, a "snow girl" who may have been forgotten by the teacher, but is very persistent, she has studied painting and insisted on painting for more than 30 years, although she has not become a very well-known painter, but her story of learning to paint is very inspiring.
Since childhood, the "Snow Girl" is a kind, gentle and silent girl, like a white snowflake that flutters slowly. When she was studying, she never quarreled or turned her face with her classmates at school, because she was weak and sickly from an early age, and she could not exercise vigorously, and when her classmates went to physical education class, she read books and painted in the classroom, and developed a good habit of drawing what she liked. In junior high school, with a strong memory of painting, she can draw them with just one look.
In the third year of junior high school, when she filled in the volunteer, she applied for the art major, but when it came to the examination, the only place in the academy of fine arts did not have her own share, and she was very disappointed at that time, and she secretly swore in her heart that she must rely on her own ability to continue painting and compete for this breath. After graduating from junior high school, she went to Teacher Wang to learn to paint Jinshan peasant paintings, and at that time, eight students were studying, and finally only two people persisted.
In 2013, "Snow Maiden" had a strange disease, the skin on her body would break when touched, her family took her to see all the famous dermatological hospitals in Shanghai, and later, the doctors of Huashan Hospital determined that it was erythematous scars caused by poor immunity. At that time, she was admitted to Huashan Hospital, and the doctor used a large number of hormone drugs to control the disease.
When she was sick and hospitalized, she also thought about painting, so she painted a painting "Walking Under the Clouds" and participated in the "Sheep is Beautiful" zodiac art exhibition held at the Zhu Qizhan Art Museum. After being discharged from the hospital, she continued to paint peasant paintings, but in her paintings, the most appearing was the sunshine, the home of a colorful person, and the hope for life.

The next year, she opened a free class at home to teach students to paint peasant paintings, and while she painted peasant paintings, she taught students to draw, and the students drew good peasant paintings, helped them frame them, and let them take them home as a souvenir.
