Third, the corresponding painting societies are pro-China which easily obtain fundings from the Mainland cultural authorities. Fourth, people no matter for whatsoever backgrounds can easily perceive the aesthetic pleasures from your artworks because they do not need to imagine or think at all.

Sixth, urban sketchers can easily get the help from the press media for column-writing reports because the works easily connect with our daily basic-class livelihoods.
