The painter made his first contacts with farmers paintings in 1973,three years before the death of chairman Mao Zedong,and when the Cultural Revolution was still dominating the political and social life in China.

When the painter entered the area near Huxian by bus,scenes of the golden autumn came into his view,and it was just at the time of the golden autumn, everywhere in Huxian, the home of the farmer's paintings, it seemed there was flowing gold and trickling silver. The painters were not only the creators of "material civilization" but also the creators of "ethical civilization". In their spare time, after strenuous work, they painted beautiful pictures of their home towns with paint brushes as well as with their own emotions. They revealed the beauty, for the first time, that "men of letters and paintings " dared not approach in the past. They were wonderful creations.
