This is a very interesting painting in rich and detail descriptions on how farm lives are in China. Vivid colors and kind of like cartoonish style really made me smile everyday :-)


See the grandma is feeding those chicken

Are they breeding honeybees?

Women are lifting heavy stuff by using the bamboo carry pole


Use donkeys to transport bulky items

Toddler and mom crossing the bridge

Feeding fishes on a boat with goats surrounding by the river


Kids playing under the Chinese pavilion

Goats gathering?

Colorful tree and peacock - which looks better?
