For years he studied with great concentration the tradition of painting art of Western Europe. At the same time he worked with care and effort to apply national aesthetic standard combined with oriental artistic skill to express colorful life. Vividness and simplicity with brilliant coloring and elegant conception featured his art language. His clear-cut individuality and distinctive style shown by his profound art attainments won wide acclaim both in China and abroad. He had all along observed the correct relationship between art and life of the times. He explored and depicted the beauty of life with genuine and sincere feeling, thus arousing sympathetic response from the people. He looked down on ostentatious and ornate style and preferred a plain, natural style like himself. No matter whether is it a still object, or a landscape or a portrait, the keynote of his works is ever optimistic and forward looking. When lingering on before his paintings, the spectators can feel relaxed, ardently love life the more and look forward to a better future.
