Former teacher of Hebei Normal University for Nationalities. Since resigning in 2006, he has been living in Beijing and has become a professional painter. His works have participated in many exhibitions, held solo exhibitions, been invited to be published in important professional journals, and have been highly praised by industry insiders. Because of the unique oriental spirit and the integration of the western art system, the works are unique. In 2021, he was interviewed by Rice University in the United States and archived in the Houston Asian American Archives. In my opinion, art is the materialization of human spiritual life. It must be connected with life to have vitality. All tools and techniques are means. Painting should not be separated by any material or form. It should return to the experience of life itself and present the reality behind the appearance. world, thus nourishing the spiritual world of mankind. This is also the essence of the oriental spirit. Cai Yuanpei said: Aesthetic education replaces religion. That's why.

My painting is a state of natural growth, and every time I pick up a knife and pen, it is an exploration of life. The pen grows hair, follows the inner guidance, and makes the best use of the situation. Between breath and breath, there is the rhythm of life. The art of painting is the materialization of human spiritual life. Therefore, it is necessary to break away from visual constraints, rise to the level of thinking, and use the natural laws of the world to express the artist's thoughts. Therefore, I praise the tension of life with strength. Establish the order of the picture and reflect the balance of nature. On the flat medium, I search for the vastness and depth of the universe, so that everything can return to its place. I want the picture to be reasonable, not visually accurate. The picture is concise, powerful and clear. All life information is contained in it. Provoking thought is the best way to open artworks.
