Judging from the development process and experience of decades, the academic proposition of combining East and West has become the most acceptable idea, which also reflects our way of moderation and becomes the mainstream of the development of Chinese painting.

"As an artist with an international perspective, I grew up in Beijing, studied painting with li kuchan and other masters, copied ancient paintings in the Forbidden City, and then went abroad, not only have a deep understanding and understanding of Chinese culture, but also directly contact with the works of foreign masters.
