Although the pictures are completely fragmentary records of daily life, this singular red color is particularly eye-catching during the epidemic, and the daily pictures contain the calm brushwork of literati paintings, but with a hint of danger, although these small red paintings are only presented through WeChat at regular intervals, but we can also feel this red color implying danger from thousands of kilometers in the same reality.
