This achievement far exceeds the Cold Army's 5.2 million.
She is mi qiaoming after 85, a young contemporary artist.
Each of her paintings has its own unique style, which at first glance always makes people feel relaxed.

Born in 1986, Mi Qiaoming is not only a member of the China Artists Association, but also a researcher at the China Academy of Arts.
Influenced by Peking Opera since she was a child, she was deeply attracted by the unique charm of China's national essence, so she began to study deeply and immerse herself in learning.
Unlike the growth and development history of many people, Mi Qiaoming did not become a theatrical actor because he liked Peking Opera, but slowly moved towards the road of painting in the process.
She tried to sketch out the portraits of the characters in Peking Opera with a paintbrush, preserving the beauty of Peking Opera in her own way, which also made Mi Qiaoming gradually become a painter.
One of the things she admires most is that she always likes to create something "different."
For example, Mi Qiaoming will incorporate the oil paints prevalent in the West into the traditional Chinese national characteristics, and through continuous in-depth exploration, create a novel style.
After learning from Lin Fengmian and others' series of Paintings of Peking Opera, she realized her own creative methods.
The prescribed description of the front, middle and back scenes in traditional paintings limited Mi Qiaoming's creative ideas, so she began to transform into casual creation, using brushes and pigments to casually apply the background.
Sure enough, it presented a colorful and clean and pure scene, and she also used some flowers such as lotus flowers and peonies to modify it, which highlighted her own characteristics even more.
In the drawing of characters, Mi Qiaoming innovated the "pointillist school" of Western post-impressionism, using this skill to depict the costumes in Peking Opera characters, which perfectly reflects the gorgeous side.
In her paintings, it can also be seen that she attaches great importance to the painting of the makeup and demeanor of the characters.
It is like a designer designing a work, hiding the background of the work, highlighting some detailed elements, and Mi Qiaoming's paintings are particularly obvious to highlight the faces of Peking Opera characters.
Because in the Culture of Peking Opera, the more exquisite thing is Shen Yun, we see that when those Peking Opera actors sing, their facial expressions are particularly rich, and the demeanor during performance is basically from the face to express the true feelings.
And Mi Qiaoming, through her careful observation and ingenious depiction, reflects the personality characteristics of Peking Opera characters in the facial expression of the work, making the whole painting look exquisite.
For example, her paintings include the dignified and atmospheric Empress Xiao, the eccentric Lady Chunxiang, and Yu Ji and Yang Yuhuan, who gave their lives for love, and Du Liniang, who is full of rebellious thoughts, eager to crack the feudal system, and break through herself.
In Mi Qiaoming's works, the characters depicted are almost all female Haojie who does not let her eyebrows be shaved, and her drawing of these characters can always see some toughness between her eyebrows.
Because in addition to her painting skills, she also added her own personal emotions when creating these works.
There was her admiration and pity for Yu Ji and YuHuan, her respect and admiration for Empress Xiao, and her praise for Du Liniang's spirit of protest.
Her integration of these emotions also successfully brought the audience into the artistic conception of Peking Opera, so that many audiences also had emotional resonance when they understood the meaning of the painting.
As a representative of post-85s contemporary artists, Mi Qiaoming expressed her love and emotion in the national Peking Opera with her unique perspective and painting skills.
Not only did it create a novel technique, but it also inherited and carried forward the national culture, so that more people realized Peking Opera through painting.
In addition to the meticulous portrayal of Peking Opera characters, Mi Qiaoming has also added new ways to create Buddha statues.

In 2019, at a spring auction in Hanhai, Beijing, an oil painting called "Dream Buddha" stood out with a turnover of 12.282 million.
"Dream Buddha" is a work representing the Buddha statue, behind which carries a deep sense of history, the sculpture of this Buddha statue and the fresco form a sharp contrast, so that the viewer seems to be in it.
Speaking of Buddha statues, we immediately think of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, where there are 735 caves, Buddhist murals alone occupy 45,000 square meters, so Mogao Grottoes also has a "Thousand Buddha Caves" title, cave murals, but also known as "Buddha paintings".
In the ancient period of the mainland, there was a famous painter in the Northern Song Dynasty named Li Gonglin, who painted a Buddhist painting "Statue of Wei Mo Jushi" at that time.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was also a painter named Liang Kai who painted Buddhist paintings such as "Splashing Ink Immortals" and "Shakya Out of the Mountain Garden".
In today's 21st century, China has produced another beautiful painter, Mi Qiaoming, who also painted a Buddhist painting called "Dream Buddha", which was auctioned for a sky-high price.
In the creation of "Dream Buddha", Mi Qiaoming places the golden-plated Buddha in the center of the painting, and the Buddha is surrounded by many sentient beings under her ingenious drawing, which also symbolizes the supreme identity of the Buddha.
At the same time, this painting also made the author Mi Qiaoming on the hot list.
However, in the eyes of most netizens, they are very envious of a painting being auctioned off for such a high price, but for Mi Qiaoming himself, he is not moved.
She believed that the symbolic significance of the painting was extraordinary, so she also donated the proceeds from the auction to the protection and maintenance of the Buddha statue.
Speaking of this post-85 beauty painter Mi Qiaoming, many people may not know her before, in fact, her identity background is very powerful.

Mi Qiaoming is a doctor of the Repin Academy of Fine Arts in Russia, and in addition to his domestic membership, he is also a member of the American Portrait Association.
Because Mi Qiaoming grew up in the army, she was infected by traditional Chinese culture since she was a child, so she has a strong interest and love for culture such as national essence.
In addition to painting, Mi Qiaoming has two other hobbies since he was a child, that is, singing Huangmei opera with his grandmother and practicing calligraphy with his grandfather, these hobbies have also cultivated Mi Qiaoming's patient and delicate personality characteristics.
Because of this, her paintings feel like they have been given a soul.
Later, when she grew up, Mi Qiaoming began to paint Peking Opera characters, and her work "Farewell to the Overlord" is said to have been cherished and collected by Mr. Lim Chang-yeol, the former vice premier of South Korea.
Moreover, the Buddhist paintings painted by Mi Qiaoming are not only the "Dream Buddha", for example, the Buddhist paintings such as "Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty Sect" and "Independent Guanfeng" are also deeply loved by Buddhists.
However, one thing that she has in common in these Buddhist paintings is that the outer body of the Buddha statue is plated with a layer of golden light and then placed in the center of the frame.
The background is basically designed to be a little bit of color, but in the background of the painting, there are also many elements such as the world, people and plants.
Thus, the Buddha statue in a painting is in stark contrast with the artistic conception, which is quite flavorful.
I have to say that Mi Qiaoming's paintings were once loved by people from all over the world, and in 2013, in the personal oil painting exhibition "Peking Opera Character Series" organized by the United Nations, her paintings sold for 12.5 million, which simply surprised the eyes of countless people.
Once, some people kept calling this post-85 beauty painter Mi Qiaoming "China's first female Van Gogh, it seems that it is not unreasonable, Mi Qiaoming's works are her most solid foundation."
So why can people appreciate her paintings?
In terms of professional words, her painting techniques incorporate the Painting Methods of Western Oil Painting Impressionism, and the methods of splashing ink and hooking lines in our traditional Chinese paintings, overlapping together, so that different layers are superimposed between the two.
In general, there is both the realism of oil painting and the freehand of Chinese painting. This natural blend is very unique, and it also conveys the emotional language in the painting.
In addition, due to her profound painting skills and the excellence of traditional Chinese culture in the content of her creation, Mi Qiaoming's paintings have also formed a cross-border style between ethnic and regional areas.
In short, her paintings always give people a very comfortable feeling, which is why everyone can appreciate them.
Through the autumn 2013 art auction, Mi Qiaoming became famous overnight, becoming the youngest beautiful female painter in the Auction of China Guardian and Poly, and the first auction of the painting exceeded one million.
Therefore, she has attracted the attention of many famous painting collectors, and Mi Qiaoming's potential in the art painting world has also been seen by more people.
In the same year, she became the youngest member of the China Artists Association and joined the ranks of researchers at the China Academy of Arts.
Mi Qiaoming was awarded the title of Outstanding Artist of the Asia Art Foundation, and then she began to devote herself to creation, using Western oil paintings to reflect the Oriental Buddhist Zen charm, and the mystery embodied in the paintings has amazed countless people's hearts.
And Mi Qiaoming, a new star in the art world, is also slowly rising.

It is worth mentioning that in 2016, a pair of "Rulai" in Mi Qiaoming's series of Buddhist paintings was collected by world-famous masters.
It was also this year that many of Mi Qiaoming's paintings were moved to the auction sites of Beijing Poly and Beijing Guardian, and finally sold for a high price.
In just a few years, Mi Qiaoming has become famous in the industry.
In 2017, her "Clean and Inactive" was also bought by a French producer. In this year's time, her work received the highest recognition.
Since then, China has had a "female Van Gogh" named Mi Qiaoming.
