In addition, he developed a bunch of fine art professionals. The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is a place where a man can purify his soul and thoroughly understand the significance of life. He has gone to Tibet for painting for many times and believed that there is endless sources for his creation, including the unique snowcapped plateau landscape and rich and characteristic colors...Everything in Tibet is very close to his soul and fits with his personality.
